yeah that is the crux of it to me- compared to just- lets pick EDM- if I argue the Oilers are more likely to make the playoffs its mostly because that team has no choice given their window and composition to actively manage towards that direction, and the Flames- even if the last 20 games have changes things a bit- are really or should really be looking in a completely different direction- this impacts as you point out the response to injury or injuries etc etc
