25% of the time historically.
20% of the time in the previous decade.
Darryl has gotten teams to overachieve in the playoffs, but even if you give him equal playoff odds to a PT winner, you have to factor in that he isn't a lock to take a team to the playoffs, while a President's Trophy team is a lock to be in the playoffs.
Doesn't mean the President's Trophy is the end-all be-all of course - I mean the Capitals have three of them and haven't made the ECF yet, but you asked the question. I'd like to see the Flames win a President's Trophy. As well as a cup.
