The NHL Sour Rankings focus on the teams struggling at the bottom of the league standings, particularly the San Jose Sharks and Chicago Blackhawks. The Sharks, finishing with a record of 20-50-12, possess an 18.5% chance of winning the draft lottery, having secured the top pick last year. Their rookie performances provided optimism despite the challenging season. In contrast, the Blackhawks, finishing 25-46-11, faced disappointment with injuries affecting their performance and Connor Bedard's dip in points per game needed for further team development.
The San Jose Sharks, despite a second straight last-place finish, have the best odds at the first overall pick in the upcoming draft.
Chicago Blackhawks' rookie star Connor Bedard showed a slight improvement in his points, but had a disappointing points per game this season.
