It's looking safer and safer we will get Calgary's pick.
There are too many bad teams that got off to worse starts.
If they can get out of January with a solid buffer from the 10th worst team, we should be laughing.

Calgary is now 15th as Utah has passed them, but the standings in the West are pretty tight. Both Vancouver and Dallas are in danger of losing their playoff spot. I can see one of Utah or Calgary taking Vancouver's spot.
Calgary is 5 pts up on 10th place Seattle and hold a game in hand.

10 teams are at least 2 games under .500, that really bodes well for this pick. Plus another two teams are one game under.
If the Flames can play .500 hockey the rest of the way or even slightly under, we're probably good. They just need to avoid any lengthy losing streaks. Their toughest stretch of schedule is late February through March so hopefully they build a buffer before then.

Go Habs Go
It's going to be tight in the standings for a while yet I assume,
so far 4 teams are under .400 win %, we are around 2 weeks away from teams hitting the mid point in games played. Next you have the Ducks and Habs in the middle between the bottom and the next group which are in the .470 to .485 range. You have 6 teams, Wings, NYI, Jackets, Seattle, Flyers, Blues.
Getting into that bottom 12 won't be easy outside of a sabers like losing streak, plus you have teams like the Sens, Utah, who I just don't trust to help us but we'll see. Pitt and boston have among the worst goal dif in the league so we'll see if that changes as it usually sorts it's self out

Sorry for not reading more, and I think I knew the answer at one point, but I simply don't remember. If Calgary is top10 pick, or any lottery pick (missing the playoffs), we get Floridas pick, if not it's Calgary?

No need to get lost in the weeds. It’s basically Flames’ 1st Round pick if it’s not a top-10 pick.
With Detroit and Buffalo being absolute trash…There is 6 team IMO who will easily finish below flames, no contest.
ANA-CHI-SJS-CBJ-DET-BUF
And a few teams who IMO who are similar level then Flames but already behind in the standings
PHI-PIT-SEA-UTH-STL-NYI-NSH
Place our Habs in one of the 2 categories. That’s 14 teams
They should fall right in no man’s land unless they start losing real soon.
I don’t see them climbing up.

Flames win!! 3-1 against the Sharks.
They’re currently 1 point away from the last playoff spot in the west. In the thick of da mix! Currently giving us pick #16.
Perfect place for them (or us?) to be. No way they sell anything, they might even try and buy ...
They have 2 more games before New Years. If you told me before the season started that they’d be in this position come end of December I would have called you a fool. Lot of hockey still obviously and too early to celebrate but as of right now, don’t think we could have asked for a better scenario for this pick so far.

Things will eventually go south for them so the longer they stay here, the harder it will be to fall into the bottom 10.
