Trade season is officially underway, and while we look ahead to what might transpire, it's never a bad time to have some fun with trivia facts about every team in the league. Think of this as a supersized version of "Sach got your number" from the ESPN On Ice podcast.

How we rank: We use a panel of voters, and these rankings reflect which teams voters think would win head-to-head matchups. Higher-ranked teams are favored over lower-ranked teams. A run of wins doesn't guarantee a jump, and a couple of losses doesn't guarantee a fall.

Note: All stats are accurate through games of Jan. 16.
