I called this The Florida Troll Job in reverse months ago. It won't be hard for Calgary to sink if they find themselves out of it. Wolf just has to stub his toe.

It is going to be a lot harder since most of the team below them are already tanking.

Gotta cheer for the Flames until it's guaranteed they can't finish bottom 10.

Calgary temporarily moves into WC2 after their win. Blues are going to hold WC2 after their game. They're leading 4-1 over Preds late-3rd.
That will give the Blues 75 pts to Calgary's 73; however, Flames hold 2 games in hand on St. Louis.
If Vancouver can find a way to defeat the Jets, they'll retake WC2. It's possible that 3 different teams hold WC2 over a couple of hours.
Utah is getting trashed by Edmonton 4-0 mid-2nd. McDavid with a goal & 2a.
It's weird, but not only is Calgary helping us draft wise, they're also helping us playoff wise.
They're @ NJD Thursday then @ NYI Saturday. It would be sweet of them to take down another New York team for us.

The only team in the bottom 10 that I'm concerned that could catch the Flames is the Red Wings. Every other team in the bottom 10 is probably too far back at this point in the season to catch them
Blues do win & take over WC2 from Calgary. Flames 2 points back with 2 games in hand.
Vancouver has a 3-1 lead over Jets after 1. If they can hold that, they jump into WC2 & Calgary falls down another position in standings. Flames have a game in hand on Canucks.
Detroit is currently in 10th OA spot. Flames are 3 points up with a game in hand.

Habs cup - its in the BAG
Keep in mind there's 5 teams between Calgary and Detroit. So it takes more than just Detroit to win enough to get ahead of Calgary, 4 other teams also need to do that.
Yup, and Calgary has been 3 points up from 10th spot for like a month now it seems. It hasn't changed.
As long as they don't go on a losing streak, we should be good.

Yeah, I'm less and less concerned about it. There isn't a whole lot of time left in the season for dramatic shifts to happen and Calgary is motivated by playing for a playoff spot, so they won't be wilting motivation to compete any time soon. They may run against some teams with nothing to play for, who are managing minutes or injuries, too.
Tonight would be a good time for Calgary to win. A win puts them 5 pts up from the 10th place team, which is Detroit, who is idle.
Both teams would have the same gp.

bottom 9 is out of reach for Calgary. So 1 spot left disponible but they would need to fall bad and no team in the 10OA-16OA range have a bad finish.
All in all, I think we can consider the Calgary's pick being ours. We need them to start losing. Something like 5W-9L to finish the year would be perfect to get a pick between 11OA and 13OA.

Not yet, they play the Islanders Saturday. They need to win that for us.
