NOTE: To establish the Super 16 rankings, each participating NHL.com staff member established their own ranking of the teams they believe are the current 16 teams in the League. Everyone submits their ranking and points are awarded accordingly. Each team ranked first receives 16 points, the second place team receives 15 points, the third place team receives 14 points, and so on down to the 16th place team, which receives one point.
