Looks like we finish above .500. I wish we had stayed bad until we had the #1 center in our system. The Frondell or Desnoyers. Probably going to be big mistake over next 10 years. As near impossible to acquire a top 6 center. Over last 25 years and Last 5 GMs haven't been able to do it. Other than Suzuki or maybe best year of Danault. Top Free agents don't sign here. Draft is only way.
We get a solid player around 12, a mid line center or #4 d-man. But always have that hole in our roster
You never know how this will all play out. I'd say low chance of playoffs, but we can't rule it out. 1-2 teams could lose two in row, while we keep winning and things look so different. A week, two weeks from now and it might be easier to tell. But as of this post, I don't think it is.

5 points out at this stage is very doable.
However, I just don’t see us being hot enough to do it. I think we will continue our inconsistent play the rest of the season. Guhle being out is a huge loss.
Many of us predicted around 85 points this year. We’re currently paving for 83.

Do you have a link? Considering how brutal our schedule has been that would make sense.
It’d be nice to finish strong.
I f***ing hate Lukewarm... 
We need to get really hot or really cold and we don't need to worry about some Losing Culture BS given the run we went on.

Unlikely Frondell or Desnoyers are a 1C. They are more 2C prototypes.

I guess we're technically only five points out of a playoff spot but our pt% is significantly lower than the teams in WC1 and WC2. Winning the next game will bring our pt% up to 0.517. The gap isn't insurmountable but not every opponent will be a partied-out, hungover Canes team coming off the mid-season break.

The Sabres have had runs like this in their 15 years of futility. It hasn't helped them to shake off their losing culture. I wouldn't call it a bs consideration, at least.

A 0.043 point% diff with WC2 isn’t that much. It’s around 7 points over a 82 games schedule.

5 points is alot especially with the number of teams involved.
The Habs fate was sealed with the losing streak prior to the 4 nations stoppage.
There was hope when this team was rolling and had little in the way of injuries. As I said back then, the moment injuries start to mount, this team's lack of depth will be revealed.

Regardless of the other teams right now, in the couple of years, 92 points got you a PO spot in the Eastern Conference (West is more like 98), and it looks like it this year as well with many teams in the 62-64 range right now. Any of these five teams playing near .550 - .570 will reach the 92 points.
With 24 games left for Montreal, that means 33 points. So they need to finish something like 14-5-5 or 15-6-3.
Let's see how the next 4 games before the deadline go, but essentially if they don't win at least 3 or 4 of them, it's essentially over.

Yeah but who was running their organization.
If we aren't selling we'd better damn well be trading for a term solution at the very least and not a rental.
Both Buffalo and Detroit did get very close over the past couple of seasons. They sat on their hands and the players quit on them. Pick a direction is what I'm saying.
