NHL Power Rankings: 1-32 poll, plus the best trade of the past 10 years for every team

Trade season 2022 has arrived in the NHL! While there wasn't a ton of action in recent weeks, we've seen an uptick now that Monday's trade deadline is less than a week away.

You can stay updated on all of the current deals with our trade tracker, but this week for the Power Rankings, we're taking a look back at the best trade made by each team from the past decade (or a little more, in a couple of cases).

How we rank: A panel of ESPN hockey commentators, analysts, reporters and editors rates teams against one another -- taking into account game results, injuries and upcoming schedule -- and those results are tabulated to produce the list featured here.
