NHL 2022-23 Season Weekly Power Rankings: Monday 3/6

28. Arizona Coyotes (28)

I want to be excited about the Arizona Coyotes in some capacity, but when they continue to take on contracts belonging to retired and/or injured players, it’s hard to do that. Maybe one of these days the Yotes will be known for more than absorbing unwanted salaries.

27. Philadelphia Flyers (27)

The Philadelphia Flyers were not expected to be buyers last week, but they didn’t turn out to be sellers either. I have to think that the lack of activity at the NHL Trade Deadline was not what the Flyers had hoped to achieve coming into the week.

26. Vancouver Canucks (29)

The Vancouver Canucks made their fair share of deals in the last week or two, but core players like Brock Boeser and J.T. Miller once again went untraded. This team has pieces, but with only 55 points on the year, that won’t matter until they’re traded over the summer or hit the ice in the fall.

25. St. Louis Blues (25)

After entering this season with playoff aspirations, the St. Louis Blues are no longer contenders. While they did add Jakub Vrana in a move that has a high upside, the damage had been done in February for the 2019 Stanley Cup champions.
