and finish one win behind Ottawa. So on paper that would imply the Sabres would end up picking about 10th overall in the draft. If his projections are accurate, that would mean Ottawa spent a bunch of picks + cap space just to finish barely above the Sabres.
Just keep in mind that one standard deviation is ~8.4 points. So any team projected to finish within 8.4 points (above or below) is easily within striking distance.
