Regardless of what imaginery number you pick, if we're in 9th, we are the mercy of the OOT scoreboard until we get back into a playoff spot.

So are you saying if Calgary loses tomorrow and let's suppose LA wins tonight, it is possible that Calgary can win the remaining 15 games and not make the playoffs? Keep in mind Calgary has more ROW than LA, so even if LA wins tomorrow, Calgary still holds the spot over them. Calgary also has games against Minnesota, LA, and Winnipeg, so they still hold control in their own hands.
I've ran a few scenarios, and if Calgary has 107 points the only one I can find where they don't get in is if LA goes 16-0-1 (OTL to CGY), Vancouver goes 12-0-4 (3 OTLs to LA & 1 to Winnipeg), Anaheim goes 8-5-1 (losses to specific teams), Minnesota goes 13-0-3 and Winnipeg goes 12-0-4 (OTLs to specific games). Based on the above, I'd say Calgary very much still controls their own destiny. They don't need help from out of town as of now. Asking for the above scenarios is ridiculous.
