No they aren't, they are based on which teams he thinks are the best in the NHL, as the season goes along the rankings change as teams prove their either better or worse. That's why LA is still at #1, even though they've been completely average this year, since even though they aren't playing great they still haven't shown that they aren't a team that will be a favourite for the cup come April (sorry for the double negative).
Very different way to do Power Rankings, which is why its so easy to think he's out to lunch when you see where some teams are placed. Best example though is he thought Oilers were going to be good, but each week they prove more to him that they really haven't improved, and now are behind the Flames, where they rightfully belong.
