I only looked at the standings, not who actually picked first.
And it's clear the point totals over the last 5 or so years are worse than the 10 years before that.
And I really just focused on the 3 worse teams each year.
Regardless of whether Calgary falters from the nice start, I don't see then as SJ/Chicago/Anaheim bad from the last few years. They are going to be hard pressed falling to that level even if they trade Andersson. Their goaltending would need to falter quite badly I think for that to occur.
