With the way Columbus has been playing lately I think the Oilers would be the likely candidates for Seth Jones, but still very early to predict.

I would suspect they will get 14 points out of their 14 home games, that added to their likely win tonight gives them 39 points, throw another 5 points on their 7 road games and that gets them to 44 minimum in my opinion. I would agree that .500 is probably where they will finish the year, probably going something like 8-6 at home and 3-4 on the road for 47 points or so.
This road trip was always going to be the toughest stretch of their season, facing playoff teams in 5 of the games and facing teams above .500 in 7 of the games. 3-4-2 is probably right around where they should have gone if they are a .500 team overall.
