NHL92 team rankings (subjective)

[deadmeow]

While we are waiting for the NHL92 2015 Winter Finals video to be uploaded, and for Mac to finish his objective, stat based rankings, I will post my list of subjective team rankings. I have not put this on my website yet, so I will paste it here.

This is based on my experience of using these teams or playing against them, as well as past overall performance of 7 seasons, 8 including Mac's new league. Our first 5 seasons (including two in the 1990's) were all played with the standard SC1 line, the last two seasons (2006, 2013) were played with user edited lines. You can see full NHL92 league scores, standings, and results by clicking the link in my signature below.
