Games that still Matter Today

Devils are currently the 11th pick.

Philly and Dallas.

Either team getting a single point today moves the Devils one pick higher (2 if both get a point) and obviously gives them a better lotto chance. It would go from 1.5% to 2.7% plus getting a couple picks higher can never hurt.

Columbus and Minny: Columbus needs to get one more total point today than Minny and they will pass them potentially knocking the wild out. Both teams could still make it with detroit falling out of the playoffs.

Wow only 11th? Some reason I felt we were a lot more shitty then 11th pick

I hope we can find someone close to being NHL ready. I know that's tough but this team is going to need some immediate impact on OFFENSE next year. If they draft a D man in the first round...

Dallas is ahead of the Devils regardless of their game. They Flyers can still pass the Devils

That's correct. I was wondering that during the game, because ESPN's standings page kept rating the Stars lower in the standings. I think I probably just read it wrong since the first tie breaker is the team with the fewest games played, which I never even took into account. So with the Flyers win the Devils are picking 9th, at worst 10th if a team with a better record wins the lotto. At best 1st if the Devils win the lotto.
