These are not predictions. These are the numbers the teams are on pace to finish with based on the points they have now and the number of games they have played.

I predicted about a month ago that EDM would collapse this season. They were never gonna be a playoff team with this roster. They'll likely finish below NHL .500 this season. No depth + mediocre goaltending always equals no playoffs.

I haven't thought at any point this season that they'd be a playoff team. Completely agree.

I have a follow-up question: Which of the 31 teams (if any) will finish the season 10 or more points above/below their current pace? For example, I think the Caps are the team to beat this season, but I think they'll finish with 111 points or less. The same could be said for STL; Is their first half pace really sustainable?

On the other hand, Tampa has been rather disappointing so far and it probably wouldn't be a stretch to see them finish with 106 points or more. I also think the Devils will finish with more than 76 points. Looks like they're better off w/o Hall. They're 4-3-1 since they started benching him in COL.

10 games ago the Oilers were on pace for a ridiculous 103 points this season. They're 2-7-1 in their last 10 games. Now, they're on pace for just 88! Ouch!

I think Detroit will finish with more than 53 (after the loss yesterday they're on pace for 43).

Buried in the table is the prediction that Florida will miss the playoffs with 95 points and Calgary or Nashville will get in with 92 points or so.

Was there ever a team in greater need of a #1 Draft pick than Detroit?
