It would be reasonable to say that it will take 96 points to make the playoffs, if not that it is a close marker. With 40 games left in the season the Coyotes would need to make up 57 points in those games and go 28-11-1 to make the playoffs. If you think it's 94 points, then 27-12-1, quite nearly splitting hairs.
I know the Coyotes went on a tear like that last year when they got healthy, but it seems unlikely this year with the injuries they have and the way they have played the majority of the season.
I know there is an argument that could be made that it is worth making the playoffs even if they get swept, but as a fan I don't want to see that. I would rather take a high pick than a near sweep in the playoffs. Build to the future, not for this year.
