Using just goal differential (and believing it's a strong indicator of season-long team success) I have to believe the west's wildcard teams WILL be Minnesota and Dallas with single-digit negatives.

Anaheim's -26 is incredibly bad sitting just outside the wildcard and Vancouver/Edmonton/St Louis/Arizona all have -12 or worse. Nearly the end of January now, and unless a major deadline trade happens to change any of the teams' fortunes (which is rare) it's hard to see anyone making up ground. It's a tough league and 4 points might as well be the Grand Canyon.

They should just delete the West wildcards this year and give Calgary and Winnipeg a first round bye.
