There is a possibility to finish 29th, if Toronto beats Columbus tomorrow, Toronto wins out, and Columbus picks up at least 3 points. We'd have to lose out, of course. That means Edmonton finishes 30th.

I think priorities are that Edmonton NOT finish 30th, and that we stay below one of CBJ or WPG. Obviously, our destiny is in our hands, and we need to lose the games we can lose. It would be best if Edmonton could pass BOTH Toronto and CBJ, but that means they have to win both games against Vancouver, meaning we'd be at risk of finishing 6th (if we also beat Van).

Realistic best-case scenario in my mind:

30 - Toronto
29 - Edmonton
28 - Winnipeg (I think they lose out the string -- tough games ahead)
27 - Calgary
26 - Columbus
25 - Vancouver

For this to happen we have to pick up three less points than C-Bus, meaning, if we lose out, CBJ needs 1-1-1 at worst. If we win one game, CBJ needs 2-0-1 or better, which already looks unrealistic.
