On paper is not a thing.
Standings is all that matters.
Flames are 8th based on points percentage. One more win and they wouldn't have this problem.
Personally, I love this. There has been 16 playoff teams since the 80s when there was 21 teams in the league. There's about to be 32 teams when Seattle joins. 24 makes a way more interesting tournament.
