Even the NJ Devils made the finals 4 seasons ago. The NJ Devils.
With how much the west has dropped off since 2 seasons ago, you can't say anything for sure. What if the Flames sneak into WC2 and draw the Wild? They've played them really well this season. The Sharks and Hawks too. The closest thing to a sure 1st round exit is the Ducks and that matchup is unlikely.
It's always good for a team/franchise to make it. There's no way to out-suck COL and ARI at this point, and Vegas is guaranteed a high pick. Draft isn't elite. So what's the point of not going for it?
The team will always push to win.
