Basically there's a MAX of 48pts for each team collect down the stretch. So mathematically even Calgary can catch Arizona and Edmonton if they string a few wins together while the Pacific #2 and #3 teams trip and stumble.

A bunch of IFs. HAHA

They could probably catch them quicker if they could beat them 

Pretty much only chance we get at wins is when we play each other 

I was afraid PPG was going to put us in the bottom 6.   

[EndGame]

Weird but I was worried my Senators were in the Bottom 6. Guess I should start hoping for a spot in that group to get a better draft pick.

Ottawa is 30pts back of Toronto and only have shot at 48pts in the final 6wks. Ouff.

[jackdaniels]

My Bs are gunning for the Panthers. Rask is coming around. Anton Khudobin is hopefully stay with the Bruins after the Allstar break. Things are looking up in beantown.

Great post, PPG!

How deep is this year's NHL Entry Draft. Doesnt seem to be as deep as previous yrs. Havent checked the prospect rankings in a while.

just sneaking up non stop! Johnny's Islanders will be Top5 next week at the current pace theyre on.

There are about 5 or 6 guys that could turnout to be good players but there's no one really elite in this draft. In my opinion Nico Hischier is on the same tier as Nolan Patrick. Not sure who Carolina would choose if the draft was today.

it's also supposed to be a deep draft for goalies but that's always a crap shoot.

There doesn't appear to be the franchise type, like McDavid, Matthews, etc. but it is supposed to be deep with A- to B+ types all thru out the top 20.

Agreed, there is no telling who Carolina might take, but they did draft Aho, so the scouting may know what they are doing.

All the Goalies are supposed to be promising, but it takes a while for Goalies drafted high to be trusted at the NHL level.

Aho is from Finland. There is another solid crop of Finns, both on offense and defense this year. Its been quite a 3 year run for them.  Last year's class was particularly special with 3 of the top 5 picks. I don't see that happening this year, but its a class to keep an eye on.

Couldn't agree more. Thought I have the upper hand with the knowledgebeing a Finn myself but yes you are right, there is plenty of Finnish talent in this years draft too.
