2017/18 Power Rankings Contest

[Rob]

Just putting this up now so I don't forget.  You'll want to wait until most of offseason FA resolves before submitting your ranks.

Respond to this thread with your prediction for this coming years standings from 1 to 20 (post-playoff standings).  Your list will be scored at the end of the season as follows:

5 points for correctly predicting a teams exact position in the standings
4 points for predicting a team within 1 position in the standings
3 points for predicting a team within 2 positions
2 points for predicting a team within 3 positions
1 point for predicting a team within 4 positions
10 points for predicting the correct champion
Tiebreaker - predict the total combined score of our Stanley Cup Championship round

The winner of this contest will receive a 20% discount on any extension during the 2018 offseason extension period!

In addition, the winner shall receive the much coveted "Prognosticator Award".

***The discount is applied to the normal extendable amount and the length of the contract is based on the normal extendable amount.  For example, if a player would normally extend at $5m for 4 or 5 years - the discounted contract would be $4m for 4 or 5 years.  Note that the final contract does not adhere to the extension contract limits ($4m/year would normally qualify for 3 or 4 years) - the length limits apply to the original amount, not the discounted amount***

***This discount may be applied in addition to the Prospect Discount.  It must be applied to the already discounted amount.  So it's 30% off the original for prospect, then 20% off that amount.  NOT 50% off the original extension price.***

***The discount may only be used on expiring players - it may not be used to extend a player who is currently under contract.***

Good luck!
