I think everyone is getting tired of seeing the same group of teams pick top five almost every season as it's just not good for the sport or fans of those teams.

Too many people confuse ineptitude with tanking.
If the Avs really wanted to tank last year they wouldn't have matched Calgary's offersheet; lessening themselves and strengthening a competitor in the meantime.
