Do we fall into that? I think were on the bubble there and it would depend on if they go by points or point%

Wait there are 16 teams in the play in? Who are the bottom 8 teams then?

Don't think nux is bottom 8 team in the NHL. So won't qualify if playoffs are canceled. My guess based on the NHL standings.

So worst case scenario now is that the season extension/ playoffs don’t happen, because in that situation we don’t finish bottom 8 by win %, plus we don’t get any playoff experience.

They are.  There are 3 teams tied at .565 for the 8th spot and the Canucks have the least regular wins of the 3.

I'm loathe to say this. But trading Bo would help with our cap situation, and probably bring in another 1st rounder and a prospect. 

Or trade Bo for Jack Hughes, and Kevin Bahl? 

Bold move if done. Trading your captain changes not just a player, but the culture of the team.

I hope u are correct that nux are in the pool if covid cup is canceled. 

In point percentage that's the ranking.  7 teams below the Canucks 0.565.  Nashville and Florida also at 0.565 but the Canucks only have 27 wins in regulation while Nashville has 28 and Florida 30.

It would be 9-16 not 1-8. 1-8 was already done today

I’m probably the minority, but I’d rather trade Pettersson than Horvat.

What a letdown for LA lol. 

 

Well, the last time they held #2 overall pick, they got Doughty so I'm sure they'll get a good player.

 

Maybe NHL draft lottery is rigged, Lafreniere will go to MTL. Canucks will win the cup this season.
