They have the Oilers at 8.7%, I feel like that’s low. They have Vegas at 99.1 and I feel like that’s high.
Either way they don’t mean anything.

Vegas is 18 games over 500 to make the playoffs you need to be about 12. So in the remaining half of the season they need to play worse then everyone but the Coyotes and Sabers.
So in the first half of the season 29 of 31 teams accomplished this feat. So even if Vegas was the team we expected them to be at the start of the season (which they aren't) they would still be likely to make the playoffs. They have to be number 1 draft pick bad to finish with less than 94 Pts. 18-24 or 14-20-8 and they make the playoffs 99% seems about right.
