All that will matter is that you're roughly in the bottom 5 or 6 to have a decent chance at any of the top 3, being dead last won't mean much anymore, which I really like.
I'll be punching through walls if this bumps us down a spot or two if we have a really bad year, though. But I think next year will be our low point, not 2016, so this could be okay from a Flames standpoint. In fact could be very good for our chances if we're a bottom 5-10 team for a couple years on our way up.
