How many of these teams had that much talent though... it's a really bad start, but if the team wakes up, it's not too late yet. Still 74 games to go.

If you think you are getting 1sts for most of those players you are crazy
Historically players as crappy as Paul Gaustad fetch 1sts. GM's generally don't value them as much as fans do.
All of those players are capable of fetching a 1st.
Teams are desperate at the deadline. If those players are available, I could see getting firsts for most, if not all of those players. They won't be high first rounders, because it will be teams looking for that final piece to the Stanley Cup puzzle, but you better believe teams would be interested in going after these players.
Don't worry guys, they'll go on a 10 game winning streak at the end of the season to go from drafting in the top 3 to 10-14th.
"I just believed in this team," Giroux said of his early-season prediction. "...Last year, not making the playoffs was unacceptable."

Yeah, the Flyers chances aren't great, however, comparing this year to prior years is kind of moot with the new division set up. If they were in any other division in the league, I'd agree that the chances of coming back are almost non-existent, but there's not really a good team in the Metropolitan division outside of Pittsburgh and to a much lesser extent, the Islanders. They still have a lot of games against the Devils, Rangers, Blue Jackets, Hurricanes, and Capitals. If they can do very well in division play, they can get the third seed in the division.
Yes, definitely. I'm not optimistic that it happens anyways, but last time they snuck in the playoffs, they were two games away from winning it all. The Kings barely made it the year they won a cup. Not saying that this team compares to those teams, but I'd rather they get playoff experience and see what happens. I'd rather they not turn into a loser franchise and miss the playoffs in consecutive years if they don't have to.
I certainly wouldn't be surprised if we saw a team make the playoffs with the worst record since the beginning of the shootout this year. However, it's a bit disingenuous to say teams with 8 points in 7 games and 9 points in 8 games are on pace to only reach 83 points. They are on pace to reach 93 and 92 points respectively, however, that doesn't account for them playing each other. Furthermore, it's really way too early to extrapolate that far.
Best case scenario, they come back from this week break and get out of this offensive slump. If they can start scoring and keep playing the way they have defensively, they may not finish with much more than 90 points, but I think that they'd still be a dangerous team in the playoffs.
Worst case scenario, they do what they did last year.
Yeah, I can't disagree with any of that.
All of this talk about top 5 picks though is way premature at this point. I think this team has a better shot of making the playoffs than they do of picking top 5, unless they suffer massive amounts of injuries.
I think the most likely case scenario is they finish right around where they finished last year, unfortunately.
here you go guys Ekblad playoffs mode, reminds me of Burns
