That is actually a poor ranking for a Team that has the 2 most current MVPs .
How many times were Prime Gretzky, Lemieux, Potvin, Lindstrom, Lindros, Ovechkin teams ranked outside the top 6 going into a season.

no clue. I do know that- for one example - the 89-90 Pens with a 24 year old Lemieux (plus Paul Coffey, Mark Recchi, Tom Barrasso, Kevin Stevens etc) finished 5th last in the league (and drafted Jagr as a result)
I also know that prime Potvin and Lidstrom teams had multiple HOF forwards, plus- and this is sort of the point- prime Potvin and Lidstrom- is that Nurse here?
