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.

Agreed! This isn't just any draft. Finishing bottom 4 will ensure a very needed high end talent. But I fully expect us to end up drafting somewhere between 5 and 10. We'll likely end up with a quality player, but it sure would be nice to land another high end talent. A future #1 D would be perfect.
