The Oilers are proof that tanking for first overall picks doesn't work unless you have competent management.
If they were smart they would have traded Yakupov for a big time defender. I like Dubynk and think he's pretty good, but they need defensemen very bad and a couple more defensive forwards.
It's not about tanking for picks, it's about building your team the right way and the Oilers definitely haven't done that.
