Draft-day projection: 593 points. When the season ends, this roster stays in the locker.
The Wheeler has finished on the podium in three straight pools: 2025 playoff champion, 3rd in 2025-26 and 2nd in the 2026 playoffs. No other team has ever strung three podiums together. That 2025 title came with 134 points, the second-best playoff total ever. Last place in the 2021 playoffs feels like a very long time ago.

Points are official OfficePools totals. 2020-21 was the NHL's 56-game season, so its regular-season totals run lower; averages leave that season out and say so. Teams that changed their name slightly (like "Longhorn7007" to "Longhorn") are grouped under one name, and the old names are listed on each locker.
