The lower our lottery seed the less likely we get bumped back. Even moving back two spots where we are now is far less likely (11.7%) then our chance of drafting top 3 would be (20.6%).
Let's not go overboard with the doom and gloom. Having a 1 in 5 shot of drafting top 3 isn't insignificant. The chance of moving back 2-3 spots from where we are is fairly insignificant.

Yup, and there's also still a lot of points left out there between now and April 10.
If my counting is correct, there's 22 games (includes Flames games) left between the bottom 8 teams. Someones got to take those points.
Edmonton plays 4 more times against teams that are currently sitting in the bottom 8.
Vancouver - 4
Buffalo - 3
Calgary - 3
Toronto, Winnipeg, Columbus, and Arizona all have 2 games remaining.
There's still gonna be lots of jumping around in that bottom 8 in the next 3 weeks.
