Toronto now controls their own destiny... if they can tank one more game they lock up the 30th overall spot... which is all moot anyways... let's be honest, we all know Edmonton is getting the first overall pick again...

That's as high as the jets can finish. No worse than 6th last. Could still finish 5th last with a Calgary win and loss to LA. 

Guaranteed top 10 pick. Regardless of what happens with the lottery

Can't the Jets finish behind Arizona?

By my calculations they can finish as high as 5th last.  If they win and Arizona loses they are tied in points with the same record.  Im too lazy to check other tie breakers.

Jets loss and Calgary wins gives Jets 5th last place.

I believe first tie breaker is number of wins then non OT wins. 

ya I think ROWs is the tiebreaker.

Arizona has the tie breaker. It's ROW's. 

 

It's 5th or 6th last for the Jets only, meaning top 10 pick guaranteed and more than likely top 5 or 6 pick since it seems pretty damn unlikely that teams behind the Jets in the standings would win all 3 lotto spots. 

 

I personally think the chances of the Jets picking top 3 are greater than them picking in the 7-9 range.

I'd be happy with 5th or 6th.

 

Here is a simulated draft that Winnipeg won!!!!!!!!!! Sorry if was already posted.

At this point I would be ecstatic if Winnipeg got Matthews but if we can't have him, I'd like to see him go anywhere but Edmonton.  Those guys have gotten enough first-round picks.

Not sure I want Toronto to win either. I'll gag listening to media fawn over them. I don't know who's worse actually, Edmonton or Toronto.

If we end up tied with Blue Jackets, who has the tie breaker.

They would. We have more ROW.

Here's hoping for a CAL win and a WPG loss.

Now if CAL loses in OT and we lose we are tied for everything including ROW then frack if i know.

The. It becomes head to head record? Goals scored?  I can't rememeber. 

So if jackets have tie breaker we can finish fourth. 

Well we played CAL 3 times.

3-1 win @ home , 4-1 loss in CAL , 4-1 loss in CAL

"If teams share the same number of points and wins (i.e., regulation + overtime wins, excluding shootout wins), then the club with more points in their head-to-head season series prevails. If an odd number of games occurred between the teams, points collected in the first game in the city hosting an extra match will be discounted in the math."

So we won, they won. Next.

"If teams remain tied after calculating points, wins (i.e., regulation + overtime wins, excluding shootout wins), and their head-to-head season series, then the team with the greatest positive difference between goals scored (GF) and goals allowed (GA) gets the nod."

EDIT - THIS IS NEW - Then WPG loses a draft spot to CAL because the GF/GA is not in our favour. Thank to @PuckReport.
