Not that it matters but we are 25th in win percentage. Your point stands, we are likely to pick top 8 this year with a good chance at top 5 if we sell off. Ottawa has a higher win percentage and as long as they go 2-3 in their 5 games in hand on us they will be ahead of us in points total.
Teams behind the Flames include the Wild and Buffalo which seem likely to pass the Flames by the end of the year. San Jose, Chicago and Anaheim are likely out of reach as are the Blue Jackets in all likelihood. But 5th worst record seems quite likely even without a sell off.
