Predicted Order of Finish

[MissouriMook]

The way things are going, I wouldnt be surprised if the Blues finish 12th in the draft order.
Sitting at 76 points, I can see the Blues gaining another 6-8 points.
Remaining Schedule
@Nash
Boston
Philly
NYR
@Minnesota

@Dallas

They have 7 games remaining, 6 against teams above them in the standings and 1 against a team below them. They have 5 games against teams currently in a playoff spot and 2 games against teams that are not. Their current home/road splits suggest that the home and away status of those games is largely irrelevant.

I expect that getting more than five points out of these remaining seven games isn't what I would classify as "likely" but it certainly isn't implausible. Where will 81 points put us in the draft order? 10th? 9th? 11th? We shall see. I still think we will finish 9th or 10th, but I don't think you can eliminate any final slot that isn't higher than 12th or lower than 7th. Tomorrow's game will have a lot to say about how they finish, with only one more game against a non-contender left on the schedule after that.

I'm going to say we end up 10th or 11th pre lottery

Blues sit tied with Ottawa at 11th/12th in the draft order with 3 games to play. Love seeing the improved play, but going 6-2-2 over the last 10 has really put a stinker on draft position.

Ottawa holds tiebreaker in both RW and ROW (the next tiebreaker), thankfully (29 to 27, and 35 to 34), so Blues are currently 11th.

It's on coaching staff. You tank correct way. Sit out good players.

This team doesn't even know to tank proper way.

Berube nor the players give a shit about the draft or losing so they can pick 8th instead of 11th.
