Which could well be the difference between 8-9thth place and 12-13th in the reverse standings given how tight they are.
And a team in the top ten has a shot at Bedard. A team outside of it does not.

As an analytics guy - I'm assuming you know this isn't true in any way. Its rearranging the deck chairs. Swapping 4th liners and 6th d aren't going to add 3 points to any team. Ritchie has to replace Lewis or Lucic to get into the line-up so who knows if he even plays.
Stetcher over Gilbert is perhaps a small difference - but its not adding 3 points in 20 games.
