In hindsight the NHL is probably wishing they re-weighted the eight losing teams according to their points percentage.
1. Minnesota (0.558)
2. Winnipeg (0.563) + .005
3. New York (0.564) + .006
4. Florida (0.565) + .007
5. Nashville (0.565) + .007
6. Toronto (0.579) + .021
7. Edmonton (0.585) + .027
8. Pittsburgh (0.623) + .065
1-5 should be either equal chance, or have significant higher percent odds than 6-8.
1. Minnesota (20%)
2. Winnipeg (18%)
3. New York (16%)
4. Florida (14%)
5. Nashville (12%)
6. Toronto (7.33%)
7. Edmonton (6.66%)
8. Pittsburgh (6.0%)
Then they could have gone one further, and penalized teams that lost to a lower seed.
