Around SBN: The Amateur Mathematics Of Linsanity

I'm gonna try to keep track of where the Canes might end up in June's draft. Right now we're 25th, and throwing out all the lottery and tiebreakers, we would pick 5th.

Others have linked this site. 88 points would give the Canes about a 75% chance to sneak into the playoffs, so they would need to go 13-3-1 or 12-2-3 to get close. 13-4 drops to 56%. Enjoy the last month (maybe?) of the season, Caniacs, and keep rooting for the boys. No matter what, we will have hockey in Carolina in 2010-11, and that's a good thing.

Wednesday morning March 10

After last night’s win by Columbus, the Canes are 27th in the NHL. which could translate into the 4th pick in the draft. If the draft were held today, that might net the team a Cam Fowler, Brandon Gormley, or Erik Gudbranson — 3 young defensemen.

Still 27th, but only 4 points out of 9th in the East.

Sportsclubstats.com give the Canes a 2.8% chance to make the playoffs. A finishing stretch of 11-3-1 raises that above 50%.

The Canes remain at 27th in the NHL. Columbus remains 1 point ahead of the Canes, while Florida and Atlanta are 2 points up.

Sportsclubstats.com has our playoff chances down to 1.0%. Realistically we are out of the playoffs, but mathematically we can’t lose more than two more games down the stretch to even have a 50% chance of getting in.

Down to 28th in the league, but back up to the 3rd pick.
