Would be really awesome for Carolina to get a point tomorrow. I highly doubt Nashville's going to win, Columbus is going to be playing for their lives and it's in Nashville's interest to ice an AHL squad, and the game is in Columbus.
That Carolina game is going to be where our money is made. Carolina gets a point and we can't pick lower than sixth, one of Barkov/Monahan/Lindholm for sure. Carolina doesn't get a point and we slide to sixth with the possibility of picking 7th after the lottery and we could end up facing the Nurse/Nichushkin choice.
Granted Nurse/Nichushkin isn't awful, there's a very real possibility those guys end up being the best players in the draft, however Nurse is reported to be three years away and Nichushkin has all the well-published potential issues.
To sum up: GO WHALERS!
