I'm not sure I understand the vitriol towards the OP. He simply asked for it to be discussed, and frankly, it's a conversation that will inevitably come up this season IF the trend continues - that is, the Flames ride hot goaltending to just miss out on a chance at the lottery.
It's all hypothetical.
I don't believe that tanking actually exists. But if McDavid is the generational player that scouts are speculating him to be, than it would be a shame to miss out on the chance at nabbing him. I know it's the NFL, but I watched my Colts accidentally stumble to a 2 - 14 record and somehow land Andrew Luck a few years ago. What a different story it would have been had they finished 4 - 10 that season.
