All Purpose 2025 Scoreboard Standings Watching Thread

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

To get below Anaheim’s current points percentage, Calgary would have to go no better than approximately 3-11-2 over their final stretch (can do 4-12-0 or 2-10-4 if you’d like, but I tried to keep the OT record reasonable). That is what dropping 6 points in the standings entails and I think people struggle to visualize that, it would likely take 2-3 wins for the rest of the season to pull it off.

they should have just used Seattle and 8 points, that's the 5th OA pick :laugh:

But the drop to a top 10 pick is not has hard as having Anaheim catch us. Currently we're sitting with pick 15 with the owners of 13/14 tied with us... the owners on 11/12 just 1 point behind us, the holder of 10 two points back, and 9 just 3 points back. and all of NYI, MTL and UHC have been playing better than us recently

I'm gonna have to update this thread to include teams behind us in he standings as well. I won't cheer for us to lose, but I will cheer for other teams to win and pass us if we can't make the playoffs.

If we continue to lose we should get into that top 10, we do however need Boston to stop slipping or someone (Islanders/Pens) to pick it up a little bit, because we can only drop so much as the bottom 8 teams are 5+ points back and with only 13-15 games left for some teams, that's a decent gap.

With a loss tonight and a perfect OOT (for tanking) we could drop 3 places, Vancouver and St. Louis both would have a 4 point advantage and both the Islanders and Jackets would be within a game from passing us (we play the Islanders on Saturday which would be a big swing for the tank).

By the end of Thursday we could be sitting with the 9th or 10th overall pick if all goes well (for the tank, would be devastating for playoffs).
 
This team has always excelled at winning when there is no pressure. They’ll probably play sub .500 hockey until they’re out of it and then win 4 of 5 to end the year

best case scenario is making the playoffs and NJ finishing with the #11 pick

I was trying to do a bit of math to get a sense of where the Devs could realistically end up, and I can’t see them falling any lower In the standings than 14th worst. I’ll still take that all day, though.
 
Help me understand the math please.

Let's say we wanted to trade from 30th to 11th pick this draft. What would that cost us?

Is whatever that costs worth 5-6 games of playoff hockey to us in the long term? [mod]

There are a few intangible reasons why trying to make (and indeed making) the playoffs can be a positive thing, namely:

One, for the culture. It’s crucual to instil a winning attitude in the locker room with these young guys early on, so they don’t get too used to losing, regardless of whether or not they actually do.

Two, I wouldn’t say this is a particularly strong draft. There are a few consensus studs, but it will be a total crapshoot for the most part outside the top five or ten, entirely possible we get as good a guy at #29 as we do at #20 (or #15, or wherever the NJ pick ends up). That said, I don’t think it’s entirely outside the realm of possibility that we package our 1sts + to move up and take Mike Misa if that’s a guy Conny has a hard-on for, and I for one would not be abjectly opposed to that.

Point is, I think we can kinda have our cake and eat it too. Montreal made a cup final in 2022 and two years later drafted Ivan Demigod 5th overall. Let ‘em take a run at it now, have a firesale in the summer, run with the rookies, tank next year for a shot at Gav Mac (to whatever extent Wolfy will allow it), and load up again the following summer.

Now here is the best case for the most likely scenario

The Blues schedule is so soft. Playing the dregs of the league and teams who will have clinched their spot in the division and take their foot off the pedal.

I think we need to go 9-4-1 to get in

We still control our destiny but a win against Seattle and 4/6 points against Dal/Edm/Col would put us in the driver’s seat. Now is the time to rack up points.

St Louis plays Nashville twice in one week (gross) and Mtl/Col. I think they’ll take at least 5/8 points there.

Still think we need to hit 94 points. 8-4-1 needed
