7th Flyers 71
8th Canucks 77
9th Washington 77
10th Detroit 80
11th Blues 81
12th Ottawa 81

Based on that I can't see Philly catching us. So that locks in 8th as the floor, 9th as probable, 10 sight chance, 11/12 unlikely.

If had to guess

Flyers 75
Washington 80
Canucks 82
Detroit 83
Blues 83
Senators 83

The danger might be Blues and senators going 0-3-0 to snatch tank victory from us.

Very unlikely the Flyers pass the Canucks or Capitals. If the Canucks go 2-2-0 they can't finish worse than 10th, given the tie-break situation. I think you're assessment is correct even if the point totals don't work out.

3rd easiest schedule in the league to finish the season.

(Habs have the hardest.)

I still see 8th - 12th very much where we will end up.

If Demko returns and plays lights out and we dont move Kuzmenko Im thinking 10th - 12th.

So is Tocchet going to resist the temptation of letting Demo play out the string?

He said Delia will get 2/3s of the starts to end the season. Demko tonight. Unless he decides to end the season with Delia starting the final two I assume they’ll alternate which means Delia against the Kings and Coyotes.
 
With the Sabres win tonight, the Canucks cannot pick worse than 12th overall. Lots of moving parts depending on the results of the rest of the games. Potential to have a much clearer picture as early as tonight. Completely realistic the Canucks lock into a top-10 pick.
 
Ottawa Wins, Caps choke late and lose in regulation.

I believe we will pass Washington 100%, they have fully mailed it in.

We have a good chance at passing Detroit too given their strength in schedule with Stars/Canes/Lightning.

Blues theres an outside chance as well as they lost today and have Stars/Stars left.

9th or 10th is most likely here, 11th a possibility.

Sens winning today makes 12th unlikely.
 
Panthers score two in the final minute, Capitals piss away a point. Senators beat the Lightning. Flyers and Blues both down multiple goals with limited time remaining. Red Wings also lose.
 
Sens/Sabres win so pretty much locked into bottom 11 and a chance at Bedard.

Blues, Wings, Caps all lose. Caps lose with a minute to go just blatant tanking by them.

Will be a disaster if they win tonight. With the clown Markstrom in net anything can happen.

A canucks win is problematic. A win opens up options, even the Sens. They have 2 games left, not easy ones. They have solid chance of losing both.

Vancouver's have the kings and then the last two are Arizona and the ducks. Given the coyotes and ducks are free points. A win tonight and wine in the last two take us to 83 points. The kings game is going to be huge for us.

12th is still on the table, just not a high probability but not insignificant looking at the schedules. 10 is now most probable, 11th/9th.
 
Lose lose result... So what's the most likely outcome now? 11th?

All of them are blatantly tanking except for our "winners".
