I said that would be "bad for us". Worst case scenario in my mind is the Oilers winning the lottery. They should be picking in the mid-teens but their amazing tank job has brought them into a better draft position than us. It is really quite disgusting.
Anyway! Big night tonight:
Montréal vs New Jersey
Winnipeg vs
Washington
NY Islanders vs
Carolina
Buffalo vs Pittsburgh
Boston vs
Philadelphia
NY Rangers vs Florida
Colorado vs St. Louis
Calgary vs
Nashville
Los Angeles vs
Minnesota
Dallas vs
San Jose
There are a lot of different things to cheer for here as these games can impact one or both of our first two draft picks.
In the Islanders and 'Canes game you can cheer for the 'Canes to win (and hope that they win again to leaprfog us) OR you can cheer for the Islanders to win and bump the the Blues from 10th overall to 11th.
Washington is also chasing the Blues in the league standings and could help get the Blues pick into the high teens.
Colorado & San Jose need to win and keep the Blues from climbing the standings.
Philly and Nashville need to win to keep the Flames from climbing the standings further than we already have.
Hopefully the Wild/BJs can jump over the Blues and force a Blues-Ducks first round matchup. Doesn't look very likely though with a 3-point gap there now.
