Flames 1st round pick will be either 15th OA (if they lose to the Ducks), 27th OA (if they lose in the conference finals), 29th OA or 30th OA.

Am I to infer that the bolded below implies those who made it to the conference final (i.e won the playoffs divisional final)? Its just that it reads like 26/27-29 are the regular season divisional winners.

ii) The Clubs which participated in the preceding playoffs (but had not been ranked first in their respective Divisions and had not won the Stanley Cup that season) in order of points earned by each of them in the regular schedule of the preceding season starting with the Club having the lowest total points and followed by the Club having the next lowest total points, and so forth.
