This isn't the same team as earlier in the season. They have given roles over to the kids and they are beasting it. To not see the future before your eyes is being blinded by a pick or 2 better in the draft that will likely be meaningless for our future since pick 5-9 all have approx equal likelihood of being the better player.

Half the team has changed over since things mattered. Those players never had the chance.

Yeah! Good sign for the future at 81 games in when the other teams are already looking towards the playoffs! I can't ****ing wait to see how well they do when the other teams actually start playing their best!

I feel the way about this season how Stannis must have felt after he burnt his daughter alive to help him win the war only to find out his most of his army deserted him the following morning. 
We were so close to getting a high pick, sacrificed so much this season, and now getting a meh pick[mod]
Really happy for the way Schwheerlers, Buff, Petan played. However all that enthusiasm is tempered by the fact that Pavs will still be the starter next season, Stu will still be patrolling the blueline and one of the young guys up right now will likely lose his job to Chris Thorburn

Jets win, Sharks stink. Amelioration of Master Chef MILES ahead of schedule. So many great young players showing they want their cracks at those jobs. POSSIBLY Pavelec's last game as a starter. An early draft pick from management with a great track record.
It's technically late at the start of a new good day. Friday's here and it's already awesome.

To be fair it depends how good the painting is.
We all knew we weren't going to out-suck Edmonton and Toronto. Columbus had always been a longshot as well. Vancouver pulled off the most elegant tank I thought possible - didn't see it coming.
The odds were always we'd get 4th and 6th and I think thats where we are. All we can do is hope the odds work in our favor. It will be hilarious if we get a higher draft pick then any of the teams below us. I will head to their forums to collect their tears.
This is exactly how I feel. This is a very different team now that Scheifele and Wheeler are the leaders, and the team is full of fast, aggressive and talented young players. They are spanking some good teams right now. They really haven't reduced their odds of a top 3 pick that much, and I don't think there's that much difference between 5-9, which is where they'll likely pick. There's a good chance they can get one of the top 3 LHD prospects.

Yup. It's why I refuse to get excited for it. Just useless stat padding for players come contract time. **** off with that. Play like this when the games matter.
Also, Martin Jones? San Jose Sharks? You suck. Enjoy your first round exit if you're gonna play like that.

Henrik Sedin said something like that too a couple of days ago.
I don't think the games are entirely meaningless, the guys who are playing well are likely to still be playing well and it certainly hints at some positives for the individual players. But there is no guaranteeing that this translates into anything next year in standings (esp when the well known problems that we have are likely to still exist next year). I remember the Isles going something like 12-3-3 or something ridiculous like that to end the season during the Scheifele draft and drafting 6th overall, next year they drafted 4th overall
