"Only three times in the history of the Presidents' Trophy has a team missed the playoffs the season after winning the award: the New York Rangers, who won the Trophy in the
1991–92 season and missed the playoffs in
1992–93 (and then rebounded to win both the Presidents' Trophy and Stanley Cup in
1993–94); the Buffalo Sabres, who won the Trophy in the
2006–07 season and missed the playoffs in
2007–08; and the
Boston Bruins, who won the Trophy in the
2013–14 season and missed the playoffs in
2014–15 despite having a winning record."
