Why is that a risk lol?
If they didn't expand then they would've been an easy out in the first round in 4-5 games anyways. None of those three teams were ready/able to elevate to play at a playoff level.
Nothing was risked because they weren't going anywhere regardless. If you cant beat a 12 seed then you weren't getting anywhere near the cup.
Blackhawks didnt have a magical elixir of good luck to overcome the oilers, the oilers just sucked in their half of the rink and at key times in the game. But let's chalk it up to bad luck and now the universe owes us a lottery.
At least the pens and leafs people are living in reality and thinking we suck, we need to do something here, rather than plugging their ears and dancing around the clear issues with their team.
