Don't think anyone's done it in here yet? Here are the bottom-10 teams over the last 5 years (including what they're on pace for this season):
Odds - Team - Avg (includes lockout shortened season)
1 - Edmonton - 62.2
2 - Florida - 69.8
3 - NYI - 71.6
4 - Columbus - 74.6
5 - Carolina - 75.2
6 - Winnipeg - 76.2
7 - Buffalo - 77.6
8 - Calgary - 78.0
9 - Toronto - 78.2
10 - Ottawa - 80.0
I'm fine with where Calgary is. What scares the hell out of me... Edmonton has out sucked everyone else over the last decade by such a huge margin... They could hypothetically make the playoffs next year and the year after, and still be the favorites to win the #1 overall. That's disgusting.
This system may eliminate the 1 year tank (Colorado - MacKinnon)... but could promote the half decade of suck (Edmonton 2006-2010, Edmonton 2011 - present). Not sure what I think anymore.
