NHL style power rankings: Eyes on Brent Burns, Heritage Classic teams and more

McKenzie:  The cowboy overalls look ain’t bad. I prefer that look with a white shirt underneath, but that’s just me. It’s a tried-and-true Albertan look that certainly drew our attention. Also, I still can’t believe that this was Kadri’s idea.

Powers:  Maybe it’s a Canadian thing and I don’t completely get it, but I want nothing to do with this look. My overall days ended with OshKosh B’gosh as a kid. I will say, however, that it was cool to see the Flames and Oilers get into it.

McKenzie:  While the Flames opted for the cowboy look, the Oilers paid tribute to Albertan oil rig workers by dressing head to toe in their gear. The uniforms, hard hats and sunglasses are a fun combination for a team that is not having a lot of fun on the ice right now. They can at least look fondly on their Heritage Classic experience with the help of their outfits.

Powers:   I’m getting an Alberta educational lesson here. The name tags and hat numbers made the look feel more special, too. The look stayed true to the theme, and the players seemed to enjoy it.

Powers: Mrazek broke this one out for the red carpet in the Blackhawks’ home opener. The three-piece, windowpane suit stood out for the night. I’m a big fan of the color and how the dark lines make it pop even more.

McKenzie:  My favorite part of this ensemble is the fact that he’s wearing a three-piece suit. I don’t mind the color, either. Maybe Mrazek could’ve used a different color tie, but the darker color doesn’t hurt him here.

McKenzie:  Ullmark decided to pay tribute to Thomas Shelby from “Peaky Blinders” with his outfit, from the flat cap to the chain hanging along the vest. He’s dressed like a fine ol’ chap, if I do say so myself.

Powers:   As someone who has a few flat caps, this is a look I can really get behind. In Boston, they often refer to them as scally caps. The details of Ullmark’s look help to pull this off. The pocket chain gives it a little extra something.

McKenzie:   Tell me you’re in the first year of your new eight-year, $62.8 million contract without telling me that you’re in the first year of your new eight-year, $62.8 million contract. Caufield was dressed like money here. His smile and confidence help sell this outfit.

Powers:   Caufield has had a few different looks that have caught my eye early in the season. Honestly, it’s good for the league to have some young players who are fashion-conscious. He’s signed the contract to have the money to splash on even more clothes. The checkered pattern and the fit of the suit work well on him.

McKenzie: To think we almost overlooked this entry. The patterned, light-colored suit. The white shirt and black tie combo. The sneaker game is on point … and the belt! I’m not sure why some people feel they’re above wearing belts with suits. Dermott already was winning with the Pride tape a few games ago, but we now can give him proper due in our style rankings.

Powers:   Dermott’s suit gives me a feeling of fresh and cool. It has a glacier-like look to it. The sneakers appear to be from the brand Veja. (I didn’t know much about the sneakers before this, but I did a little bit of research on them.) They work with this look.

McKenzie:  I didn’t expect to like this outfit, but I want to give a chance to the players who go above and beyond. The checkers sort of make me think of pajamas, but it’s a great look combined with the hat and dark-red shoes. Burns doesn’t need the backpack, but that’s only me being nitpicky.

Powers:   Burns apparently has a couple suits like this. He had a blue one that looked quite similar last season. Maybe it was a two-for-one deal? They work, though. (Now that Julian’s mentioned pajamas, I can’t get that out of my head.) I’m not crazy for this style of hat, but it’s another staple for Burns, and he pulls it off.

Powers: Joseph probably was slighted in our first rankings. He had some early looks worthy to be in that discussion and fell just outside. His wardrobe collection appears to run deep, though. In this look, his suit accentuates the gold tie perfectly. It’s such a clean and classy look from head to toe.

McKenzie:  The gold tie combined with the gray suit is a winner for me. This is a man who is about his business and ready to rock on game day. I can’t tell if he’s wearing a watch on either wrist, but if he is, that would be the perfect way to cap this look.

McKenzie:  Stamkos had two looks that Scott and I debated over. We ultimately decided on the all-blue outfit combined with the gold watch. He just needed to adjust that pocket square, and he might’ve been No. 1 on our list.

Powers:  Stamkos is another player who seems to have a closet of fine suits. We had a few players with plaid combinations this week, and Stamkos was at the top of the list. If you can see it on his shirt cuff, he has his number, 91, embroidered. It’s a nice touch.

Powers: Our first unanimous No. 1 selection of the season. Julian and I completely agreed on this one. We’ve been seeing a handful of purple suits over the season’s first month, but Siegenthaler wore it best. The jacket pattern brought the purple to life in a different way, and the black tie and pocket square were a nice color combination, along with the white shirt as the backdrop. Just an overall perfect look from the Devils defenseman.

McKenzie:  I love the purple suit with the pattern. It stands out as being completely stylish without being ridiculous. I also love the simplicity of the black tie and pocket square. I did not have Siegenthaler on my ballot to reach the style rankings at any point this year. I owe him an apology.
