The Detroit first round win guarantees the Blues' pick moves up to #22 because both teams in the LA-SJ series were below the Blues in the regular season standings and one of them will be in the Conference Finals.
Depending on the results of tomorrow's games, the pick will either move up another spot (if both the Rangers and Leafs win); or it will guarantee that the pick can't go any higher than 20th (if both the Caps and Bruins win); or it will clarify nothing (if one home team wins and one road team wins tomorrow).
Red series wins don't help the pick, green series wins help the pick:
Chicago (1) vs Detroit (7)
Los Angeles (5) vs San Jose (6) -- Either way, the pick moves up
Pittsburgh (1) vs Ottawa (7)
Washington (3) / Rangers (6) vs Boston (4) / Toronto (5)
The potential position of the St Louis Blues' first round pick:
19 - 4 Conference Finalists below the Blues
20 - 3 Conference Finalists below the Blues
21 - 2 Conference Finalists below the Blues
22 - 1 Conference Finalist below the Blues
23 - 0 Conference Finalists below the Blues
