Yeah bro, your math is way off because you don't count the uncommitted superdelegates. True, there's only 217 elected delegates left, but there are also 207.5 uncommitted superdelegates left. That means of the 424.5 total delegates left out there, he needs 163 of them. Hillary would need somewhere around 330 of them, meaning even if every uncommitted superdelegate swung her way, she'd still need to win all the remaining primaries by 60/40. Maybe 65/35. Some crazy margin anyway, one she won't get.
