Das 2025-2026 NHL Regular Season Thread: If Connor McDavid were a real team player, he’d sign for the league minimum

Kind of a weird start to the season, a lot of mediocrity

[Grand Moff Larkin]

The only teams who seem legitimately bad due to points are St. Louis (who'll probably just be middle-bad once guys get healthy) and Calgary (who are bad-bad).

PNES should fall off at some point. Sharks, as I mentioned in the Wings thread, have some exciting guys up top, but the lack of depth is glaring.

I thought about it this way: if you do manage to make the playoffs in the East, no one is good enough to be scared of.
