The way I see it.
30th-Florida (lock)
29th-Colorado (lock)
28th-Tampa Bay (lock)-They do play Florida but even a win should keep them there as I doubt they beat the Leafs or Bruins.
27th-Edmonton/Carolina
26th-Edmonton/Carolina
25th-Nashville/Calgary
24th-Nashville/Calgary
There is a chance that Calgary may sneak in and get the 6th overall but realistically, it will probably be 7th pick. Nashville could possibly beat Columbus or Detroit but unlikely since they both will be going for the final playoff spot.
-There is no way that Edmonton will win against Chi, Minny or Vancouver.
-Same goes for Carolina against NYR or Pitts

Carolina beat NYI who really needed a point to clinch.
That is similar to the Flames beating Detroit and Minnesota..... who both had all the motivation in the world to bury the Flames.
It is harder to tank home games.
