30th-Stanley Cup Winner
29th-Stanley Cup Finalist
28th/27th-Conference Finals Finalists
26th-15th-The eliminated teams in the first 2 rounds of the playoffs based on standings (the eliminated division winners getting the worst picks).
So there's still a chance, one in a million, that the Blues pick could be as low as 16th. Leafs, Kings, and Sharks overtake them in the standings and that would require an OT Sharks win against the Kings with a Blues loss. And then conference finals consisting of only Detroit/Columbus/Minnesota (with 1 team missing the playoffs) and New York Rangers /New York Islanders/Ottawa (with 1 team grabbing that 15th pick).
