from Sam McCaig of The Hockey News,

Picking the 10 worst teams of the past 10 years is an exercise in cruelty, so we took the scientific approach and let the numbers dictate the baddest of the bad. Which is to say, here are the 10 teams that posted the worst points percentages in the 2010s:

1. Colorado Avalanche 2016-17 (22-56-4, .293 points percentage)

The lowlights: With 56 losses and a sub-.300 points percentage, the 2016-17 Avs set the standard for the 2010s. But, like, the wrong standard. They ranked last overall in both offense and defense. Their power play was putrid (12.5 percent), their penalty kill ranked 29th out of 30 teams. They had a goal differential of minus-112. Somebody get Nathan MacKinnon some help.
