OK, then I would rather have the points than the potential for the
points. Because the Avs had already earned the points, while the Flames
had just the opportunity for the points.

And, really, where you are right now is irrelevant. It's where you are
at the end of the season that matters. And at the end of the season, I
would rather have more points than the better win percentage. And if you
wouldn't, you're a fool.

Some of the defensive players wouldn't be adequate with any coaching.
