I think if they slide at all they may get to pick 15, but that's probably a floor at this point if you look at records.
Plus Florida has been losing some games of late, and the gap between the two has shrunk to 6 positions again.
If you ...
a) put any value in the push for young players
b) put any value in Nazem Kadri
c) put any value in the gap narrowing between Florida and Calgary
and see that they seem to be avoiding that pick #11 worst case.
I think the applied LMAO may have been overdone.

Yeah, we'll see how it all shakes out. So far this entire season every time this team got on a bit of a roll like they are now, they would not be able to sustain and solidify their position. They'd fall apart and back slide. Hopefully this time is different, because as noted they are very unlikely to fall back into a top 10 slot and keep their pick. Most likely all a backslide will accomplish is a better pick for the Habs and a bigger gap between the Flames pick and the Panthers pick, which as I stated was the dreaded worst case scenario we all joked about at the start of the year.
