Making or missing the playoffs can be big for NHL clubs, both in cash and in reputation when it comes to signing unrestricted free agents in the summer. After all, how many free agents say they want to play for teams with little chance of winning?
Among Canadian teams this season, Edmonton, Vancouver and Toronto are already out while Montreal and Calgary are in and Ottawa is on the cusp of clinching.
The Oilers went all the way to the Stanley Cup final only two seasons ago, losing to Carolina. LaForge said that was probably worth $20 million in ticket, gear and other sales in the first year alone.
