One week later and not much changes at the bottom, except YOUR TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS ARE NOW IN LAST PLACE. For all you tankers out there this is fantastic news. Also a bonus, Edmonton's odds got worse! Yay! Bad for the Leafs though is Pittsburgh falling out of the last Eastern wild card spot, giving up the spot to New Jersey, who leave the Tank Watch this week.

Our biggest drop goes to Montreal this week, falling four spots, and the [Flyers](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/philadelphia-flyers?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [Coyotes](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/arizona-coyotes?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) rose the most, with +3 each.

Seven out of the bottom nine lottery spots are all Canadian teams, this isn't good news for the Leafs. Odds are better to lose a top pick than win one, so we could see a Winnipeg-Montreal-Edmonton top 3\. No! Stop the nightmares!
