Thing is, with 1 lottery for 1 spot in the last few years, playing for position truly mattered.
But for me, we could win tonight and win one of the 3 lotteries. Or, we could lose and lose all 3 lotteries.
Realistically, we won't finish 3rd last. So, we have the option of winning out and finishing 25th(7.5% 1st OA, 23.5% top 3) or losing out and finishing 27th(9.5% 1st OA, 29% top 3). Is that difference really worth losing to the Canucks for? Not for me. Win the last 2, take our chances in the lottery.
