every team has had to do so at some point in their history, as its just part of a natural cycle.
"tanking" to me has a connotation of intentionally losing.....and i dont think a single guy in the NHL would willingly do that whether they be on the ice or in an office.
Some teams are going to be bad...every single year. Those teams arent wanting to be in that spot, they just simply arent good enough to compete over the course of a long season and because of that end up drafting higher than others.

Obviously you missed the 83-84 Penguins. Organizations will tank to draft first or have a shot at the best player.
