Here's a handy, and not at all confusing, color-coded chart of the Points Percentages of the 24 "active" teams... - EA - Montreal (500)
- WA - Chicago (514)
- WB - Arizona (529)
- WC - Minnesota (558)
- WD - Winnipeg (563)
- WD - Calgary (564)
- EB - NY Rangers (564)
- WC - Vancouver (565)
- WB - Nashville (565)
- EC - Florida (565)
- ED - Columbus (579)
- ED - Toronto (579)
- WA - Edmonton (585)
- EC - NY Islanders (588)
- Dallas (594)
- EB - Carolina (596)
- Vegas (606)
- EA - Pittsburgh (623)
- Philadelphia (645)
- Washington (652)
- Colorado (657)
- Tampa (657)
- St Louis (662)
- Boston (714)
The 8 teams that lose their play-in rounds will drop into the non-playoff draft positions, with one getting the first overall pick. The 16 playoff teams will get the bottom half of the draft picks ... with the Conference Finalists getting the bottom 4 picks. |
Kind of illustrates just how mediocre the Flames are this season with a points percentage at the bottom end of the playoff eligible teams. This lottery at least provides the opportunity for hope even if the Flames lose.
