False.
They would have been the 4 seed because Vegas would have been #2 as division winner. They would have played Edmonton.
Most likely they would have played Colorado in round 2 anyways after facing two of the best forwards in the league.
The Minnesota Wild (104 pts) were the 3rd best team in the West this season.
They should’ve played the 6-seed Mammoth (92 pts).
Instead, they played the 2-seed Stars (112 pts)… and took care of business.
Their reward? The 1-seed Avs (121 pts).
Just absolutely ridiculous.
