It's like literally picking which is the shiny-est turd.

Harrington has a slight advantage offensively I guess...

He can hit one timers, so that’s nice. Aside from that, he doesn’t add much more offensively. He gets out of position too often.

Would be nice to have Murray back for the playoffs. If they play Tampa, it’s irrelevant. But if the Jackets manage to get Washington, they can give them hell. Especially since Kempny is done for the year.

Right now the sweet spot for the playoff berth looks to be 94 points.

That means they would need to get 17 points in their final 17 games to get there which would be exactly 50% (of course) of the possible points available.

While they do not have any games in hand (everyone is at 65 games played), they do have more ROWs over both Carolina and Pittsburgh, and it's likely that if all 3 ended up tied, Columbus would get the tie break. They also own that tie breaker against Montreal, the other current WC team.

The next 7 games are @NJ, @Pit, vs Pit, @NYI, vs Bos, vs CAR and @Bos - anything less than 10 points in that stretch and it's over and the Pittsburgh games as the Carolina game are all must win types.

If I had to bet, I'd bet on them missing the playoffs and topping out at around 85 points. This team looks like it's completely out of gas.
