OK, so here's the list of teams and point totals. Teams shown are in their current locations. So the Winnipeg in the list is the franchise including the Thrashers totals, the Phoenix listed includes the Winnipeg totals from the WHA merger until the move, etc. I'm sure you guys can figure it out.
Including just the raw point totals obviously penalizes the expansion teams, as they did not play as many games.

tl;dr - Detroit is pretty good at hockey. Edmonton has been bad for 20 years. The Flames are in the middle tier.
I might save the whole thing as a Google Doc if anyone cares.
