The Blues had to have the best record in the league to reverse that.
The Flames will need to have amongst the worst records in the league to go bottom 10; you're proving my point.
Last season the bottom 10 started at 0.494% win percentage or 81 points.
Right now it's 0.500 so maybe the cutoff will be 82 points.
The Flames have 43 points through 37 games which means they need to get less than 39 points in the remaining 45 games for a 0.4333%.
There's only 4 teams currently playing that bad, Buffalo, Nashville, SJ & Chicago.
People are underestimating how bad the Flames now need to get to drop into bottom 10 range.
I want a high draft pick as much as anyone but math exists and the Flames need to quickly become San Jose bad if they're dropping that far.
