athletic's model gives the wings an 18% chance to make the playoffs. but it was only 1% a few weeks ago!
i'd still deal bert if a good deal came along, but the price should be very high. like a top prospect and a 1st or 2nd (depending on the prospect).
they have the second toughest schedule in the league down the stretch, that might keep them out. on the flipside, buffalo has the toughest.
we should know where they are after this week, starting tonight. if they play well and win, that's a sign maybe they should keep bert. if they get outplayed but have puck luck (like the last edmonton game), i'd still deal him.
i expect them to get outplayed tonight, but i hope im wrong.
