Amazing to see how high the Wild rank all time in winning % and also how low some iconic franchises rank (Hawks, Kings, Rangers, Leafs for instance).

This being said it’s hard to completely chalk this up to bad luck. The Wild rarely if never have had a Stanley cup caliber team. The team hovers between mediocre to slightly above average every year without bottoming out like some of these franchises.

And it makes you wonder if the team just wants to be relevant every year for ticket sales and owner ego or if it isn’t capable of building an elite team in playoffs. It’s not hard to see some bad teams like the Sharks building their pieces now to make a run down the road.

One last thing but newer expansion teams may benefit from how OT losses are handled so that may be boosting the Wild a tad. But point remains, always relevant, never bad. Also rarely great either.

Edit: by winning %, the data is points %.
