No, no... that's next year. This year, they'll miss it by a couple of points and draft 15th overall. Next year, when they have to send their pick to Tampa as part of the Miller trade, they'll win the draft lottery. That's how the Canucks work. Cursed franchise.
Anyway, too bad it wasn't an OTL for maximum chaos, but I can't remember the last time there was a division with 5 teams separated by a point for first at the All Star Break. Although Vegas could still jump ahead as they're the only team with a game left, but it's against Boston.
Also, if you want some cheerful news, not only are the Leafs not in the playoff picture right now, they're actually in 10th, as the Canes have a game in hand on them. I didn't realize the Keefe streak had cooled that substantially.
