I know that were our roles reversed I would never try and collect on it if the season ended the same way. It's only a hundred bucks, but it's the principle of it.

What are the thoughts here? Should I pay up?

IMO the place in the standings is not determined until after the play-in round, since the Oilers and Flames can still both end up in the draft lottery. If your bet was on regular season points, you lost but IMO the standings have not been determined
