No. People think tanking is worth it because you can get the next messiah #1 overall to lead the team to the promise land, in actuality you hurt the development of your young guys by creating a losing environment and only have a what %17 chance of picking 1st and even then there is no guarantee one player can turn your team around. Look at McDavid, best player in the world and his team still can’t get past the first round. Mentality should always be to win, never tank on purpose.

It’s about building with our youths. And trading big anchor contracts. We won’t be competing . No reason to keep price. We need elite talent level players. We won’t get them without high picks. And we also need to give our young players a chance by giving them a roster spot .
