We need Columbus to beat the Sabres to keep the Blues 1st round pick at #19.
St. Louis and San Jose Watch (1st round picks)

Hughes would take key ice time away from Tage Thompson. Let’s not lose sight of our organizational goals here.
At the Blues-Avalanche game right now and Colorado is worse than anything I've seen from Buffalo this year. Two shots on goal through 20min including a PP. They look slow and disinterested which is weird with where they are in the standings. Don't think the Blues are dropping points here tonight unless the Avalanche have some amphetamines in the dressing room for intermission

That Botterill is brilliant. He knew the Sabres were not going to be a playoff team so he put conditions on these trades to keep us interested.
At least Anaheim fans will get some joy out of it ...they will end up drafting a 2019 Brock Boeser.
Man, the Blues might get that top division slot.
Tonight they took their first lead of the season in the home-ice race.

2 games to go.
Blues could really fall anywhere from 17th overall if they lose out to about 25th overall (25 is looking at league standings, not factoring playoff format if that is an issue).
Sharks are basically anywhere in the 20s. Who knows how well they’re playoff run goes.

That’s like giving up another 2nd in the trade for no friggin reason. What the duck was Botts doing to agree to that bullshit condition. It’s not like Anaheim wasn’t making that trade without it either.
Who knows but it’s still a very reasonable price for Montour and the gap between St. Louis and San Jose is looking like 3 or 4 picks anyways
It really shouldn't surprise anyone. Botterill is an idiot. Look no further than the O'Reilly trade. Vet GM takes him to the cleaners. At least with the Montour trade we got a good piece back, but a smart vet GM maximized his return on a guy he deemed expendable. Botterill isn't smart enough to put his foot down and not agree to the condition and now we essentially moved down the 1st round for no reason.

So we want/need
-Columbus to win out (NYR and OTT);
-Vegas to win out (LA and AZ) ; and
-Vancouver to beat St. Louis (most important)

Can someone explain ?
Won’t the outcome of the playoffs determine their draft position?
Botts is in the Milbury tier... at least chiarelli won a cup before going insane.

Only those making the conference finals.
The ore pkayoff order
31-28 division winners high to low
27-16 other playoff teams high to low in points
After the playoffs
31 cup winner
30 cup loser
29 conference final loser with more pts
28 conference final loser with less points
Division winners not make no final 4
Pkayoff teams nit making final 4
In essence the 4 conference final teams are pulled out and order is compressed from 27 to 16
