Yes, but I'm not sure doing nothing (in a short season) is tanking. Flames management tried to tank.
They traded Bouwmeester who was not a soon to be UFA, and only for marginal return.
They sat veterans down in large numbers (at times) to play the kids.
Again, it didn't work because the kids refused to lose - and credit to them, but one can certainly suggest management sure tried hard enough to sink to the bottom of the tank.
