I mean... I'll take 45-2-1 from the Pens, but it's not happening.
In all honesty though... I could see 51 being the magic number. Look back at the 94-95 standings.

Take every team's remaining games, multiply by 2, add their current points, and then rank them

I'm sure this is obvious, but this clearly ignores the fact that the teams play each other.

And that has nothing to do with the number.

It does, and it doesn't. To get the correct magic number, you've got to consider tiebreakers.

Currect. There are currently 5 teams in the east with 96 point potential (undefeated) followed by 7 with 94 point potential; this means 8th is attainable with 94 points and the proper tiebreaks but 95 secures a spot. 95 - 4 = 91

Again, this is just not true. Only one team in the east can go undefeated. If we're going to be mathy, why not dig in and figure it out for real?

It wouldn't effect the calculation of the Highest Max Pts. But it would certainly effect the calculation of slots 2-9, wouldn't it? I'm not trying to pick a fight, I just can't help but think it has been over-simplified here.
