Now that they have clinched a playoff spot, they could fall down to 8th place in the conf.

It's almost looking like the draft order could be

16.)Calgary
17.)Montreal
18.)New Jersey
19.)Florida

If the Flames can't get into the playoffs, than I guess that's about the best to hope for. Maybe hope the Canadiens fluke their way to the East Final.

Even if Ottawa doesnt pass the Panthers, theres a good chance they give up their pick for the Dadonov situation

I forgot about that. So it would be a forfeited pick, so that starts to make it more likely that those 4 picks could be in a row.

Minny probably wedges in between, but yeah, all four picks could quite possibly be within 5-6 slots

It depends on when Florida gets some of their guys back. I doubt they're jockeying for position to avoid any matchups and they're already in. They're either playing Toronto or Tampa and I'll guess if healthy they'd like to get Barkov and Kulikov into a game or two but only if theyre better than 100% healthy. They're a veteran team who's been thru the battles so I don't think they'll be too worried about needing all their guys playing well heading to the playoffs. More about if the guys are as healthy as can be for when it counts.

We need the Panthers/Devils to not win two rounds too. We will have things to cheer for
