The four division winners get the four worst picks (32-29), unless they don't make the 3rd round, then they get reverse ranked from 28-25 (28 if one doesn't make it, all the way to 25 if they all don't make it).
So according to the chart Jay Random posted, and assuming Vancouver wins the Pacific Division, hoping Vancouver makes the conference finals for the 3rd round pick does not make sense for us.
Edit: Just thought of an edge case: Vancouver is the worst division winner, and the other three have already all made the conference finals.
