Pens Looking Strong The NHLP East Division is incredibly tight and Cup
hopes are clearly on the line in the first round. GM Chad has scored
well in Pittsburgh. The Pens 10 is the round high along with New Orleans
(Shawn) after three days of the playoffs. Pittsburgh leads 10-7 and
although extended man games, Zuccarello missing the game is cause for
concern. He is listed as day to day. Zuccarello had 3 big points in game
one and is a CTR projected point a game player in the first round. GM
Matt’s Nordiques will need Tampa Bay coming back as they are bringing a
second-round low of just 9 no matter their opponents. Chad is looking
like a easy favorite over Memphis who is leading 5-3.
GM Charlie has an incredible opportunity, only down by 2 points but with
McDavid and currently a projected 25 points next round, which in any
situation would be a monster mash with the Pens. Charlie knows what it
is like to run with the best player, his Rangers doing it in 2021 with
Kucherov. McDavid through up a zero in game one and the Oilers won. This
was the first time all season the Oilers won a game when McDavid didn’t
get a point. This is a good sign for Charlie’s Rangers. No matter how it
is sliced Memphis and New York are neck and neck. For Jr he likely could
use the extra man games from Boldy and Yurov and knows if the Wild
advance and the Habs don’t, Memphis is back in the mix. Even know Jr’s
Machine have enough to beat out the Nordiques next round, as long as he
doesn’t advance with Tampa Bay. This is really fun watching this
Division battle. Quid diaboli accidit? GM Scottie’s Hamilton Hitmen just can’t score out
of the gate. Painfully down 6-2 to the misfits from Philadelphia. There
is just so much potential in Hamilton. If Edmonton goes on with Colorado
and Vegas, this team is a powerhouse. Right now, Scottie has 28 second
round points versus about 29-31 from Montreal (Marcel) depending on if
Minny or Dallas advance in their NHL series. Montreal is all in on the
Habs, so without them they pose zero threat. Hamilton isn’t supposed to
beat Philadelphia who are a sizable 6-point favorites. The Flyer’s Ducks
players outscored the Hitmen’s Oilers 4-0 in game one. This matchup
favors GM Scott 23-14. Scottie needs a sweep, which is possible. If the
Oilers did sweep logic says they won’t be losing 4-0 in this matchup if
the Oilers are winning. If Hamilton cannot find a way to win this
series, Montreal or the NY Islanders should be locks next round. The
Habs are up 9-6 over the Islanders. GM Ryan has such a good team himself
with Edmonton winning, about 27-28 second round points as is. That is
enough for this team to run. With Draisaitl and Nugent-Hopkins, what the
CTR had as a weak Division suddenly looks like an unstoppable one. Ryan
needs Tampa to hold down Montreal in their series. Marcel was able to
score 5 from his four Habs in Game #1. Ryan is a heavy underdog in this
tilt, so must slow Marcel down and keep it close. The best way to do
that is likely a four-game sweep by the Habs, with less scoring from
Marcel’s players and a long seven games from Ryan’s Oilers pair, with
the game 7 going his way. After that an Oilers run could be more then a
dream playoff in 2026.

10 - Divisional
Standings for Playoffs, Deductions for Non-Playoff Players – NHLP Divisions
Next Season
(New – 2025/26) At the conclusion of the
NHLP regular season and to determine the NHLP playoff seeding in each
division, conference, and the league's official final standings for next
year’s division seeding the NHLP will set the final standings using the
following formulae: a) (New – 2025/26) The standings (1st to
6th seeding) in each division are first set based on the
highest scoring 8-player playoff teams, seeded 1 to 6th, if
all teams have full 8-player playoff rosters. Next, the highest scoring
of the 7-player playoff teams gets the highest remaining seed with all
non-playoff players being 100% point penalties. If the standings are
still not set, next the highest scoring 6 man teams, then 5 man teams,
etc. will determine the final standings. In short, regardless of point totals,
teams are seeded as follows: all 8 playoff player teams first, then all
7 playoff player teams, etc. b) To determine the Division in each Conference for next season the 5th place teams and the two teams that win the first round stay in their current Division for the next season. The team finishing 6th and two first round losing teams move to the same Conferences other Division for the next season. This allows the NHLP GMs to all be in the same Divisions, or different Divisions annually. Notes for 2026/27 -*If you do not pick on your first available day, you automatically pick behind a GM scheduled to pick that day. If two GM's are to pick on the same day, the GM lower in the pecking order (with the overall lowest points of his three teams) picks first. -If two or more GM's pick the same day by 6 PM, but both take the same players and one is not available because of this, the other GM is given to 7 PM to make a replacement pick or he is bumped to the next day. |
