Maybe...... It's something like teams that are 4 pts out on 5th November, since the lock out, have a 20% chance of making the playoffs though. They are 6 points out now the the 12 November (yes, I'm aware of the Blues from last year....). I don't believe it's the skaters that are the problem in SJ though, Jones and Dell are bottom 8 in the league (qualified goaltenders) for SA% and bottom 10 for GAA.
They also lost some key players, such as their top goal scorer/captain, top four D man in Braun, one of their top scores in Donskoi, and 60 pt guy in Nyquist. They are a different team than last year. Just thing were the Oilers would be if they lost their captain, a top four Dman, and a 60 pt guy.
