I am trying to remain optimistic about our draft position. It's absolutely possible that you're right and we end up 7th overall, but Chicago really strikes me as a team that plays to win every game. They just beat the Oilers in a game was equally unimportant. PLus this is their last home game before the playoffs, they probably want to go out with a bang. I also remember Vancouver kicked the crap out of Calgary a couple years ago in a similarly meaningless game.
