The Predators (72 points in 62 games) are on pace for 95 points this season. In order to match that, the Blues would need to go 15-7-0, or something like that, in the final 22 games.

fun supplement to this: Dom’s model gives us 4% playoff odds, and MoneyPuck has us at 5.7%. Both sites have Nashville above 70%, and both sites have Minnesota and Seattle ahead of us, with odds between 10-20%.

Yeah, that’s just too much to realistically overcome. The Blues have 2 games in hand, but would still be 3 points behind Nashville if they won those games. 3 points is really hard to overcome at this point in the season since teams get a point for being tied after 60 minutes. The Blues should firmly be sellers at this point. The 32 thoughts article said the Blues have put an extraordinarily high price on Buch, which I think is the right approach. You don’t have to trade him, but if you do, you’re going to really stock that pipeline.

You guys remember when we had like a 0% of making the playoffs and ended up winning the Stanley cup? Anything can happen.

Much crazier things have happened, but definitely not likely. If you’re management, you don’t even factor that small of a chance into the moves you make this week. Might be in for some painful goodbyes.

Note: [For Nashville to get to 95 points, it needs a 11-8-1 record in the final 20 games. So it’s not like it needs to win every game from here on out.](https://x.com/mdefranks/status/1764696853646393644?s=46&t=Xn0juU2C4hEaElfmeGb4jQ)
