HF Habs: Flames or Panthers 1st Round Pick 2025: Part II

[26Mats]

It's pretty sure.. there's ~10 games left for teams. There's a number of teams between Calgary and Detroit. It would take multiple teams between Calgary and Detroit to win 3 more games than the Flames over a 10 game stretch. That's really really hard to do.

It will be interesting to see how the standings look in 3 games: Calgary plays Dallas, Edmonton, and Colorado next.

Please loose Calgary

Will McDrai play though?

Either way, they have a 7 points lead on Detroit. 4 of their remaining games are against San Jose and Anaheim. Detroit's last 5 games are against Florida, Tampa Bay, Dallas, New Jersey and Toronto including 2 back to backs. 0 worries; Calgary is not falling that much. At this point, we'll be lucky their pick is higher than 15.

Anaheim can be good sometimes. Hopefully they can beat the Flames to help them drop below 15.

Must put a stop to their win streak

Bottom teams can be surprising in the last 5 games of the season. Pens lost against the Hawks 3 years ago in one of their last game and they missed the playoffs by 1 point.

Highly unlikely Flames fall bottom 10 now so cheering for them to lose every game from now on.

It's almost impossible.

Detroit is 10th

If calgary finish the year with 3-9-0 they'll have 85 points
If Detroit finish the year with 6-5-0 they'll have 84 points.

It would require either Calgary to lose almost all their games or Detroit to play better than they did so far this season.

I think CGY can go 3-7 and still finish 11th (ideal).. I've been rooting for them to win all season (to avoid) bottom 10... Time to start rooting for losses.

 

[tazsub3]

Yeah, last thing we want is for them to make the playoffs and then go on a run like Florida did. Lol

They need to stay between 11-16.

Then again I won’t mind a Canadian team not named leafs or sens going deep …. But yea I rather have a higher pick

Hopefully all the team’s sticks just got replaced with Reeboks. That’d be a good start.

 

[overlords]

vancouver doing us a favor tonight in more ways than one. They'll hop calgary by 1 pt but calgary will hold two games in hand.

 

[The Great Weal]

Only 4 of the remaining 12 games for the Flames are against non-playoff teams.

Edit: 5 teams

5 - Utah, Anaheim twice, San Jose twice. I think if they win 3 more games they finish out of the bottom 10.

Blues acting like it's 2019 has sealed the Flames fate. The Cardiac kids aren't making the playoffs this year

They need to lose games. A lot of them. I want that 11 or 12th spot.

Don't get greedy! Not much difference from 11 to 15 in this dtaft

 

[Scriptor]

The key is for them not to lose too many games and finish bottom-10.

 

[Habs]

I want two power forwards that can punch faces in this year's draft, no creampuffs

I live on the edge my friend

You want Carter Bear. Not going to lie, I want him badly too.

There's always a difference. Your player might be avalaible at 11 but not at 15. More choice is better.

Don't think you get him at 15th. Maybe at 11th or 12th it's possible.

An achilles tear is enough for me to not draft someone in the first round, or at the very least with the first of their 1st rounders.
