Its a weird year standing wise.
Based on winning %, the last wild team in the West is on pace for 88 points.
And the # 6 pick in the draft is on pace for 82 points.
There are 11 teams in the NHL within 2 games of .500, above or below. The NHL is mushy middle these days.
If the Flames hit the Dallas winning % the balance of the year, they would hit 107 points, currently a pace that would put them in 7th place in the NHL Dallas is a bad example to use..
A 93 point pace the rest of the year would leave them in the curent #9 draft place.
So, assuming Andersson is traded at least, a top 10 pick seems very likely.
