Here's how I see the rest of the season working out.

Flyers:
2-3-0 : 4pts : 75pts
31-38-13

Canucks:
2-2-1 : 5pts : 80pts
36-38-8

Capitals:
1-3-1 : 3pts : 80pts
35-37-10

Blues:
0-3-1 : 1pt : 80pts
36-38-8

Red Wings:
1-3-1 : 3pts : 82pts
36-36-10

Senators:
1-2-1 : 3pts : 84pts
38-36-8

Sabres:
2-3-1 : 5pts : 86pts
39-35-8

1) Ducks
2) Blue Jackets
3) Blackhawks
4) Sharks
5) Canadiens
6) Coyotes
7) Flyers
8) Capitals
9) Canucks
10) Blues
11) Red Wings
12) Senators
13) Sabres

If this was the case then we would be drafting 8th.

Caps hold the tie breaker due to having more RW.

Does anybody know who has the tiebreakers against the Canucks?

Blues detroit philly caps etc

They all hold the tie breaker over the Canucks.

Wouldn't we loose the tie-break vs Blues, Caps, and basically anyone else around us?

According to NHL.com, the first tie break is regulation wins (RWs):

Van - 22
Phi - 26
Was - 26
Stl - 27
Det - 28
 
Nevermind some beat me to the tiebreak comment.

Its funny though that under your scenario the difference between winning in over time or losing in over time would move us from 8th overall to 10th overall. I honestly dont see us losing to the Hawks, Ducks or Coyotes. Our kind of team feast on bad teams.
 
Anything can happen, but that LA game looks like a loss. I also think there's a better than 50% chance we drop one of the Chi, Arz, Ana games. We are not playing well at the moment. Arz is playing well and Chi just beat Cgy to nearly crush their playoff hopes.

For me the Cgy game will be key. If we beat them it may be hard not to slip to 9th.
 
Just rooting for the Capitals to end the season. Blues basically out of reach and Phillly won't catch us with our&their schedule. We're either 8th or if we surpass Washington 9th. Wow what a freefall for the Caps.
 
If we finish 8th, the worst we could pick is 9th, and the best we could pick is 1st or 2nd, is that correct?

We cannot pick 3rd or 7th for example?
 
At this point, it seems almost impossible we slip out of range of 1st overall, which is super important. It's a slim chance, but it's good to have.

In that situation we could slip to 10th in the unlikely circumstance that two teams below us win the lottery.

“Hiss, snarl, whack, bang!” as my mother used to say to my little bro. They’re both still alive, so no sad vibes here.

Thanks. The odds of that must be infinitesimal. If it happened then we really would have an argument for being cursed.

If we finish in 8th, it'd be a 30% chance of falling one spot, 3.2% of falling two, and a combined 12.4% of winning 1st or 2nd. Most likely outcome is to stay put, at 54.4%.

I'm just happy that they'll have any chance at Bedard again after the completely useless winning streak. Just not the kind of prospect you can afford to not have a shot at, albeit tiny, when you are are definitively not a playoff team.

Clarification plz
 
At least Delia is redeeming himself as one of the top Tank goalies in league with a much admired 0.883 save percentage.

He was outstanding last night.

If they can get him into most of the remaining meaningless string of games, "Your Vancouver Canucks" (actually owned and operated by FA) should be in the bottom 11, with a chance at the Prize.

 
the numbers are how many regulation wins (RW) each team has. As you can see, Van has by far the least of all teams around us in the standings
Well f***, so we have
tiebreakers on everybody?
 
Its nothing to get riled over about.

We chose a different path for our meaningless games. Lets see if it pays off when next year starts.

I'd be happy if they finished 8th. They'd still have a 12.4% chance of moving up to 1 or 2. An almost 70% chance of retaining 8th or moving up.

In comparison 2nd to last overall has a 27.9% chance of picking 1 or 2 and a 71% chance of falling.
