The '15' number is if they get top 10. Because the Panthers are likely to pick no better than 20-25. And if they pass Toronto (very possible) they are in the 25-30 group. All of those numbers are without making it to the Cup finals.
However, if we keep on the path of trying to make the playoffs, then we likely finish 14-16 and you're right, the expected difference is probably in the 10-12 range. But the point is, why take that path?
