Seattle's schedule got much easier when factoring in home/away like you did.
But it's about winning the games. Tonight is a four point game with Vancouver, I'd argue the result of tonight's game has more influence on playoff positioning than the SOS rest of the way.

I agree on direct competition for sure.
But if Vancouver isn't a playoff team the impact is just a two point game. That's the determining factor for a four pointer.
