So reading into this, one would favour the Canucks to grab 2nd in the pacific, then it to be a 3 way fight between Calgary, San Jose and LA for the final spot in the division, then into the wildcard battle with a slumping Winnipeg. Heck, with how hard the central teams' runs are, could 5 Pacific teams make it in?
A thought occurs though - playing teams that have good records at the end of the season, when they may have less to play for (if seeding is more settled) - is that really going to be as difficult as we think?
