Colorado tanked, or at least it certainly looked like they did. They drafted MacKinnon, got the coach they wanted and won the division a year later so it really worked out for them either way, but I still believe it happened.
Their GM was fired FFS. Why would he do those things with the intention of "tanking" just so he could be fired? That makes no sense.
