They had a great effort last night. Washington lost to Vancouver as well are they a piece away?
The team plays a certain way. Low event hockey. They are more than a few high end players away from contending for the division. They are overachieving this year. Terrible take.

Divisional playoff spot - not winning the division.
Right now it's :
Vegas. .638
Los Angeles: .627
Edmonton: .621
Calgary: .561
So that's about 6 points back if you normalize for GP, or the 0.060 points percentage difference being ~10 points over the course of a full season.
Right now they are about equal distance from being in a divisional playoff spot (aka not Wild Card) because they are .060 behind the Oilers, as they are to finishing bottom 10 (0.061 ahead of the .500 threshold for bottom 10).
Neither is likely happening this year IMO.
