An early summer power ranking of the 32 NHL teams
The National Hockey League is now firmly in summer mode. This is where the 32 teams stand.
25. St. Louis Blues - 2023-24 Result: Missed Playoffs
The St. Louis Blues are retooling their roster. Although they have some exciting young players in the pipeline, it is going to be a while before they are contenders again. They haven't bottomed out yet so there hasn't been any lottery luck yet but they are far from a top team.
26. Seattle Kraken - 2023-24 Result: Missed Playoffs
The Seattle Kraken are looking a little bit better than they were entering the offseason. The 2023-24 season didn't go according to plan after their first-ever playoff appearance (and series win) the year before. They are still improving as a franchise but have a long way to go before they have sustained success.
