The positives about finishing 8th in the East`

1. Playoffs
2. Rangers instead of Bruins (I do like our chances better... not saying we will win but at least a chance)
3. We pick 15th in the NHL draft instead of 16th or 17th (unless we make it to the Stanley Cup Finals)

anyone have any more?

We will pick 15th?

30 teams, 14 don't make it, next number is 15th right?

Conference final have their rank changed as well, that would be a 27-30th pick if we reach the eastern final

Takes skill to tank for a better draft pick and battle for a playoff spot at the same time.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing.

Let's hope we get another "steal" at #15.

We've lost three in a row so we're due a winning streak.

Unless it's the beginning of another 7-game losing streak

The positive about finish 8th is that we get to play the Rangers and win the first round. Hopefully Washington can beat the Bruins and allow us to face Florida in the second round.

That would be pretty awesome to face Florida in the second round of the playoffs!

As another positive, there is zero chance of Marchand taking one of our guys out at the knees, or Lucic blasting Anderson, since we aren't playing the Bruins. The Rangers are much less dirty than Boston, so we're less likely to see a Sens player getting injured.

That's number 4, IMO.

The biggest positive - no pressure.

No one expects the bottom seeds to really make an impact, so the kids can go out there, get some great playoff learning experience....and maybe even surprise the Rangers and get a few wins out of the series.

We beat the Rangers 3 times out of 4 this year, so we definitely have chance to win the series.

This. When the Leafs try that, they finish 9th.

Ditto! Though it won't happen, that would be the NHL's biggest nightmare.

If we beat NYR it already is their biggest nightmare

Not going to happen even if caps and Florida win their respective series. Teams get re-seeded after the first round so division winners don't get to necessarily keep their seed.

I don't think that's true.

According to Ranger's fans, we got lucky in those 3 wins.
