You may have missed my post last page, but in the last 10 years only 2 wildcard teams out of 36 made the finals, both lost. I care if a team is in a divisional spot, 3 out of 8 teams per division make it, that isn’t a very high bar. Winning the division has no value and my breakdown last page shows that.
My opinion though sort of ties into the trade deadline. If you’re in the top 3 divisional spots you’re “buyers”. If you’re wildcard or worse, you’re sellers. Now there’s varying degrees of how much to buy or sell, but standing pat last year like the flames did was shortsighted. Not moving Andersson was a very bad move and should be strike one against Conroy.
