I don't think the players try to tank. But there are examples of management and coaching groups intentionally icing inferior teams to gain the top pick.
The most recent was the Ovechkin/Malkin draft class. The Penguins sold a huge chunk of their roster and received nothing more valuable than a 3rd round pick as compensation for any of the pieces.
