That would require us to win all of our 4 last games, for buffalo to lose all their 3 games in regulation, for calagry to finish with a record of 2-3-0 despite playing against arizona, anaheim and sj. I mean buy yourself a ticket of 649 at this point.

Nah, it requires us to finish 7th and dropping to 9th with the lottery.

Very unlikely that two teams behind us win the lottery. Did it ever happen that two teams below 7th won the lottery to be 1st and 2nd?
Don't think it's ever happened but the odds of 7th dropping to 9th are 5.6% which is less then the 6.5% of getting 1st OA. That said there's a 36.5% chance of dropping one spot which is fairly significant chance.

I'm of the tank-ilk 100%, but it's gonna be hard telling that first line not to produce. This is what kind of happens when a team finally assembles a real 1st line for the first time in decades, they start to annoyingly win. So im just enjoying Slafs Hattrick instead of the much needed loss. Now back to business.

Clearly picking 5th (max 7) is mind numbingly important!!!!! At 5th we can easily select 1 of 3 prospects required to improve our team. At 7th (max 9) we will end up with the "faller" (from the tier II) or taking a gamble on one of the mid teens (tier III)
 
Personally, I don't see Blackhawks take a D. I think they'll look to select someone who can play with Bedard.

Keith and Seabrook were such a big part of their last few cups, I'd be surprised if they didn't go and get their top pairing D man. Korchinski isn't really that, he's more of a Matheson.

Well looks like the Red Wings have nothing to play for the last two games. I predict Marty will have the guys pretend it’s the Cup finals.

I think the Sharks could beat this Isles team in a 7 game series. How are they in the playoff picture? They are atrocious
