I’m noting that third in the Pacific was only 93 points last season. With the top three playing much better that year.
No. Not really. Unless you want to go back and re-seed by P% on 2-17-19. Which shouldn’t be too tough. Give it a shot.So it’s conceivable it could take less.

Those head to heads could make or break us. Anything can happen, no shoe ins in the Pacific, any team could miss, its pretty close. Oilers and Canucks have enough flaws, either team could easily have problems.Why should I do that when this is more fun??
BTW.... we have 3 left against VAN and two against VGK. So those percentages can be altered somewhat. Stick that into your calculator.
A couple of injuries could break a team's season, as we we'll know.Those head to heads could make or break us. Anything can happen, no shoe ins in the Pacific, any team could miss, its pretty close. Oilers and Canucks have enough flaws, either team could easily have problems.

Only if you win them. If any of those teams with games in hand take a dive like the Yotes did, we can get into the playoffs.As much as NHL.com and our lazy, worthless local journalists don’t want to admit it, games in hand actually matter. We are NOT in a playoff spot today.
If Raanta continues to play well, we get Kuemper back, our team D can play like last 2 games we are ok. I think teams get momentum and lose momentum for different reasons. I don't think we are as bad as our record the last 15-20 games, we can turn it around. other teams might not be as good as their record Vancouver/Edmonton lately. Plus we have plenty of head to heads. I think its a 50/50 shot any team is in, including us, other than Colorado/Dallas/St Louis.One of the reasons why I'm not willing to buy into the percentages angle. Last year the top two in the Pacific were set by this time. This year it's anyone's ballgame.

The last two games are exactly the way the team won early in the year. Forwards skating hard, getting timely goals, D playing good, and getting out of this world goal tending. The only problem, I don't think this type of game is sustainable, as we have shown in the past. I agree, it will come down to the head to head games we play with teams in our division, with the first one starting Wednesday. The Stars destroyed us with their physicality last game, let's see if we have the balls to push back.If Raanta continues to play well, we get Kuemper back, our team D can play like last 2 games we are ok.

And the Yotes don't have any flaws?
55.2% probability according to the site just linked to here.
Keller - Hayton - Schmaltz
So does that make them buyers at the deadline?
I expect us to mostly sit on our hands. Could see something minor like Grabner for Pysyk or something like that.
Athletic article today talking about GMJC's TDL approach. He said he doesn't like to trade at the deadline, but if there is value to add he'll consider it. He also does not think the cap is an issue as there is always some way to make the numbers work.
Coyotes' most coveted pieces may be hard to find at trade...
