It strongly aligns, as usual, to who's in and who's out.

No it really doesn't. 69% is definitely not a good success rate for a system to be considered predictive of anything.
As of right now the Kings are on top of the Corsi table. And while yes, they're good, they're not at the top of the league (that's why they're battling for a wild card spot).
Winnipeg at #8, Carolina at #9, Anaheim #17, NYR #19, Vancouver #20, Montreal #24 (one spot below Edmonton) and Calgary #28 (one spot below Toronto) all speak volumes regarding how terribly flawed corsi is at predicting anything useful.
Edit: 16 teams make the playoffs not 15. So corsi, this season has predicted 11/16 spots which is just under 69%
