The NHL trade deadline has passed. The contenders, pretenders and lottery fodder are clear at this point. Some teams are all-in on trying to capture glory in the short term. Some teams are rebuilding for the long haul. And some teams ... well, we're just not sure about some teams.
In this week's edition of the NHL Power Rankings, we look whether teams have crept closer to winning the Stanley Cup or have fallen further from it. Rankings are through Wednesday's games.
How we rank: We use a panel of voters, and these rankings reflect which teams voters think would win head-to-head matchups.
