The Wild land the big name, the Islanders do nothing, and the rankings sort through all the teams in between

The deadline was one week ago and it already feels like it was four months ago, because time gets very weird around this point in the season. The playoffs are tomorrow but every team still has 15 games left, and nobody has anything to play for except the teams whose very existence is on the line. It’s weird, and it’s OK to feel disoriented.

But yes, after crunching the numbers I can confirm that this is indeed the first Monday rankings of the post-deadline era, which means we need to try to figure out how much the biggest deals moved the needle on our expectations, if at all.
