Really? "I know you are but what am I?" as a rebuttal?

You need only look at the number of putrid teams in the league this year to understand why.

Hmm. Interesting thought. How does one define "putrid"?
The five worst teams in the league this year are on a pace for 75 points or less:
Buffalo (52), Edmonton (58), Arizona (70), Carolina (71), Toronto (75)
That is marginally worse than the five worst last year:
Buffalo (52), Florida (66), Edmonton (67), Calgary (77), Islanders (79)
Of the bottom five this year, Edmonton and Toronto did not start the year intending to tank. Buffalo did. Carolina did. Arizona didn't, and other than trading a UFA goalie, hasn't done anything to indicate they are all-in on a tank.
Truthfully, I don't think there is more obvious tanking this year than there was last.
