......can someone remind me.....Is it only the last two teams that don't make the playoffs? As huge of a Mooseheads fan as I am, I am kind of struggling with wanting the Mooseheads to climb the standing and make the playoffs,or just play hard and win here and there and finish in the bottom two and get a top pick. Anyone else feeling the same way?

Of the four teams who finish last in their respective divisions, the two with the fewest points miss the playoffs. Everybody else is in.
Edit: I can't count

As of now, the Moose are 11 pts out of a playoff spot with 22 games remaining.

So we could make the playoffs and still have the 3rd overall pick. And at 3rd overall we'll still probably pick the same player we would pick if we had the 1st or 2nd overall pick. However our Euro pick goes from 3rd to 9th overall.

Yep, I feel that way. We don't want to win too many games lol. I think its save to say the playoffs are out the window. We'd have to go on a tear not seen in these parts of town for 2 years, and BC and Lewy would have to tank it. Lewy and BC tanking is possible, hell, even probable, but us making up all that ground?? Not likely.
In the end, it would be nice to pass BC and get out of last. Would give the season some sense of accomplishment. It would give the team a nice boost heading into next year, and we'd still have a lottery pick. It's not going to matter if we finish dead last or 2nd last, we're still going to get the player we want (Taylor Burke) in the 1st round

I think at this point in the game the Moose are more interested in the continuing developement of their younger players (this is very evident by the fact that they are on the ice even at ctitical times ) than in trying for a play-off spot, I think our goal should be the # 1 pick and giving our current youngsters some good experience for the balance of this season.

How is shooting for the #1 pick better for the younger players? If development of the guys I have is my goal, then a run down the stretch to push for a playoff spot would be better than playing 5-15 over the last 20 games.

if we play like this for the rest of the season the playoffs are a real possibility 22 games left and a little over a month in the regular season!!!

I don't think it matters if they are last or third last from bottom their name goes in a lotto for first eacond or third pick in Q June Draft it does matter with Euro Draft but in any case they will still come up with great picks and we may get a round of play off hockey wishing..Everyone has a Dream get in play offs and still get first pick in Q draft....

Maybe Halifax has as much of a chance of making the play-offs as Moncton does catching Saint John ! LOL. Just a statement I am not fishing.

I think the lotto is only for the top two picks, Fred. If we were to make the final playoff spot, we'd pick third.

It's not like there is a Sidney Crosby draft pick out there and we need to tank the season (yeah I'm looking at you Rimouski!), Making the playoffs would do more for this team than the 1st or 2nd pick (as compared to picks #3 or #4). As improbable as making up 11 points may seem, it's not impossible.
