A lot of the writers for the hockey side of SBNation got together--electronically at least--and ranked the top 10 in the NHL and 1-15 in each Conference. Keep in mind these are the preseason rankings on who we think are the best teams right now. Here's what came out of the Top 10 poll as well as the Western Conference poll:

| 2 (4) | Detroit Red Wings | You're here already |
| 3 (4) | Pittsburgh Penguins | PensBurgh |
| 4 (5) | Washington Capitals | Japer's Rink |

| 8 | Vancouver Canucks | Nucks Misconduct |
