Some of those teams aren't that bad to begin with and will have tiny chances to get #1 pick.. but not sure why Colombus is going to go from god awful to good with the addition of Bedard.

I picked the teams I picked because they have a really good base already.
I picked Columbus because they have had arguably the worst injury season you can possibly have. I bet they will be much better even if they don't get Bedard. The rest of the teams aren't that far off already.
Plus this also is if the Flames have players like Lindholm request trades. Already over the cap, add trying to replace your #1 center with probably $3 mil cap to work with after moving out his $4.85 cap (already a steal of a deal). Some of this is the Flames sliding not these teams all gaining 10+ points
