Suggestion
Show each team's Elimination Number in the league standings. By definition, the first-place team's Magic Number is the same as the second-place team's Elimination Number. (Just to clarify, this should be displayed in addition to the Magic Number column, not in place of it.) It might also be visually helpful to gray-out teams in the standings once they have been mathematically eliminated from postseason contention.

Reason
I've noticed several sports websites were using E#s, especially late in the season last year. I think it would be particularly helpful for GMs to know how far away they are from being eliminated as they make personnel decisions leading up to the trade deadline.

Priority
HIGH, just because it seems like it would be simple enough that it shouldn't take much attention away from more important features.
