I do think they start playing closer to .500 now or maybe a little better here in this next stretch. The opponents are easier but there are some gotchas in there. 3 back to backs with travel, some teams that have had their number (Ottawa, STL) and the tough trio through the SE USA teams to end it.
Say something like 8-7-2 over the next 17 games.
Which would leave them at 10-14-3 as of December 1 ... think that would probably have them pretty clearly out of the race at that point.

Yes, I agree. They are done unless they can get at minimum to an even points percentage by Dec 1. Of course, that is not nearly good enough but it permits the possibility to continue for another month or so at least. By the start of December, we will probably know if Conroy should start looking beyond Andersson for selling.
That is why I said that they really need to string some wins together in a hurry - if the team wants to be anywhere close to its goal.
