That should win them a few more games then they would have otherwise. They also have like 15 of the last 21 at home. They suck at home, but are marginally better then on the road.
I think Calgary is a good bet to get one of Reinhart, Bennett, or Ekblad who appear to have separation on the other prospects IMO.

If Edmonton can't get Ekblad I think they might go for Draisaitl, so if the Sabres do take Ekblad, Reinhart might still be available when the Flames pick even if Edmonton finishes behind Calgary.
Although, odds are that Sabres won't retain the first pick with the new draft lottery format.
