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.

I don't view missing the playoffs as the worst case scenario.
Pick #11 is worst case, especially if they went for it and never had a chance.
They did have a chance, and do have a chance.
And team #11 is only two games over .500 to the Flames nine.
With 79 points already banked the Flames would have to be the following to slide into these draft positions
11 .219
12 .271
13 .317
14 .320
Worst case scenario is long gone in my mind.
