from Dan Rosen of NHL.com,

The Super 16 is back for this week, a one-time only summer offering featuring contributions from 11 members of NHL.com's editorial staff who were asked to rank the top 16 teams in the NHL based on how they finished last season and what they have done since.

To create the power rankings, each of the participating staff members put together his or her version of what the Super 16 should look like. Those are submitted and a point total is assigned to each....

16. Colorado Avalanche (43-30-9)

Hit: The Avalanche, who lost in six games to the Predators in the first round, upgraded their goaltending depth by acquiring Grubauer in a trade with the Capitals. The 26-year-old signed a three-year contract with the Avalanche and will compete for starts with Semyon Varlamov. They also signed two former Blue Jackets, free agent defenseman Ian Cole and forward Matt Calvert, each to a three-year contract

Miss: Goalie Jonathan Bernier (signed with the Detroit Red Wings), forward Blake Comeau (signed with the Dallas Stars) and forward Nail Yakupov (moved to Russia) are not considered major losses as free agents. The Avalanche were last in face-off percentage (44.2 percent) and did not address that issue.

15. Calgary Flames (37-35-10)

Hit: The Flames have made significant changes after missing the playoffs last season by dipping into the Hurricanes' well. They hired Bill Peters to replace Glen Gulutzan as coach and acquired defenseman Noah Hanifin and forward Elias Lindholm in a trade with Carolina. Calgary signed free agent forward Derek Ryan to a three-year, $9.375 million contract after he had an NHL career-high 38 points (15 goals, 23 assists) in 80 games with the Hurricanes last season. In addition, Calgary signed Neal.

Miss: To get Hanifin and Lindholm, the Flames traded defenseman Dougie Hamilton and forward Micheal Ferland to the Hurricanes. Ferland set NHL career highs in goals (21), assists (20), points (41), shots on goal (144) and games played (77) last season. Hamilton led Flames defensemen with 44 points (17 goals, 27 assists) and averaged 21:32 of ice time per game.
