It’s still possible that Buffalo, Carolina, or Columbus will manage to out-tank the Oilers, who then finish 29th with an excellent chance of picking third. Even Philly is getting into that territory now, with just one win in their last 10. Edmonton has to be the current favourite to finish last, but they have a lot of competition.
Back at the start of the season, when many CP posters were expecting the Flames to be in the McDavid sweepstakes, I predicted that half a dozen teams would be in full tank mode and it would be very hard to out-suck them all.
