On this Thanksgiving Day in the United States, we here at NHL.com Super 16 headquarters are thankful for 25 percent turnover in the power rankings from last week.

Four teams that were not among the Super 16 last week are in the rankings this week with the Minnesota Wild, Ottawa Senators, Florida Panthers and Utah Mammoth knocking out the Montreal Canadiens, Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks.

That kind of week-over-week turnover is yet another example of the chaos that is the NHL standings this season. It has made the Super 16 a weekly adventure that we are so thankful we get to do.

Keeping with the Thanksgiving theme, our staff this week not only came up with the Super 16, as it does every week, but we are offering reasons why each team is or should be thankful.
