I hope the Flames make selling type trades to the Wild, Coyotes and the Stars.
How about Cammalleri to the Wild, Stempniak to the Coyotes and Wideman to the Stars. All for picks and prospects.
And just to be safe, maybe help out the Kings and Avalanche too.

Yeah, the loser point makes things ultra difficult as it seems like teams in the second half of the season always get loser points more than the first half. Would be interesting to see if this is actually the case and can be backed up by facts.
Even tonight, after I posted the standings, Minnesota won in OT but because Vancouver got a loser point, they are now 4 points behind but have played one more game than the Canucks.
You and DOOM are right though and there is a lot of season left to play still I suppose. I just don't know if Dallas and/or Minnesota, having played at the level they have been so far through half the year can change their results now and roll off a couple of winning streaks to make up that ground. If they play like they have been, it's doubtful.
