Well it depends on when Price comes back. If they continue playing as they are it's not inconceivable that a bunch of the bottom 5 teams in the league pass them and they do in fact draft top 5.
The Oilers are only 5 points back of Montreal with the same number of games played. It's not that hard to imagine McDavid & the OilBros outperforming the Price-less Canadiens. Heck the Flames could pass Montreal. BUF could pass MTL. It's a little harder to imagine TOR and CBJ passing MTL but I wouldn't say its impossible at this point.
