The Isles will be clinching the playoffs shortly with Boston down 3-1 to Florida.

So that miracle Sabres win over the B's might end up costing the Sabres 7.5% of a chance at McDavid and a 59% of a chance at Eichel?

There's still hope that they slide to the wild card spot. If Pittsburgh wins out and the Isles don't beat Columbus in the finale then Pittsburgh moves ahead of them and drops the Isles to the WC.

They ain't in it yet!

But that's what plenz is fearing, Boston possibly having a 1% shot at McDavid. I'd come up with some witty comparison, but I can't think of any crazy scenarios that have a 1% chance of happening... maybe death by an inkman calf smothering?

Pretty sure teams below them in the standings can make the conference finals and lower their pick more

Good call. Didn't even think of that.

So the Sabres other first round pick will be 17-21 or 27-29 (can't be 30th because that pick would be guaranteed to go to Winnipeg).

If the Isles make the conference finals and the Blues don't, pretty sure the Blues pick could slip to 26, 25, or 24.

 

So Sabres pick 2 would be 17-21 or 24-29.

 

So for the best pick possible, root for 1st round exit for Isles and Detroit or Ottawa to win the division; Pens to win theirs; Minny to win theirs; and Calgary or the Peg to come out of the last group.

Do we really need to do this? I've had it with draft finagling.

Do what? Just adding some clarification to where the pick can end up. I'm hoping it doesn't end up better than 18, as I (mildly surprising to myself) would prefer to see the Rags beat the Pigeons.
