Starting a new tradition (if I remember, feel free to re-make this topic next off-season just a few weeks after free agency). Simply choose the team you think will make the playoffs first out of 5 bonafide bumsquads (bottom of each division plus the next lowest point team in as a wildcard, ya I'm making that a rule so my fav bumsquad gets in for the first annual bumsquad bowl)
in the event of more than one of the teams making the playoffs the tiebreakers will be: points -> head-to-head records -> goal differential -> PIM (more = better) -> goals for (moar goalz) -> total points scored for the team by Canadian players -> first person who realizes all the previous conditions are somehow tied's choice (probably me)
Two separate scores for this - one for the actual winner (determined by tiebreakers above) and another for the total times your selection made the playoffs but lost the tiebreaker. Like gold and silver medals I guess.
2020 bumsquad list:
Red Wings
Devils
Blackhawks
Sharks
Senators
