VAN = 89.0
WIN = 80.5
SJ = 73.0
CGY = 66.6

LA = 64.3

DAL = 10.3
COL = 9.6
MIN = 8.9

Interesting numbers. Flames more likely to finish as sixth seed than any other position according to this analysis (at 21% probability). Winnipeg has 50% probability of being seventh seed.

I don't know what numbers or ratios go into the analysis but it's fun to assess as a projection anyway.
