Standings are calculated using both points won and points lost, obviously. PTS% includes both of them.

Not sure why you would ignore points lost. Losses make your record worse. They mean something. You can't just pretend they don't exist.

in 2019-20, we saw these end of season totals:

WPG 71gms, 80pts
NSH 69gms, 78pts

and

CGY 70gms, 79pts
VAN 69gms, 78pts

why do you think NSH and VAN were seeded higher than WPG and CGY for the playoffs?
According to NHL standings, the Leafs are not in 6th place. You deciding otherwise changes nothing.

On today's waiver wire, the Leafs are #27 in waiver priority.

If the season ended today, the Leafs would pick 27th in next year's draft.

If the season ended today, the Leafs would play FLA in round 1.

You are wrong. The Leafs playoff seeding is based upon the standings based upon point totals.

Not expected goals, not points that haven’t been accumulated yet.

You sound as ridiculous as Trump with a black sharpie.
 
is it just me or does no one bat an eye when approaching the playoffs, all the sports channels have to add an extra column to the standings to account for the differences in games played.
 
We don't have to use points percentage most of the time because all the teams play an equal amount of games so it ends up being the same thing.

If the season ever ends suddenly, they go by points percentage.

Midseason for determining waiver wire order, they go by points percentage.

Down the stretch, when networks are showing you the playoff races, they're also essentially going by points percentage just in this weird format that is comforting to boomers/the mathematically challenged.
