More of me thinking out loud.
It is 100% not worth it to lose on purpose. The Edmonton Oilers may never make the playoffs again because they lost on purpose for like 3 or 4 seasons.
Likely finish (going by schedules and recent performance):
30. Colorado (35)
29. Florida (38)
28. Carolina (38)
27. Nashville (40)
26. Calgary (40)
25. Edmonton (41)
24. Tampa Bay (42)
23. New Jersey (42)
At 26th the Flames would have an 8.1% chance of winning the draft lottery.
