I'm saying that (as a recent example) the owners / management of Buffalo went into last year knowing they wanted to finish last for a shot at McDavid. The Tank is real.
Players don't get a memo, but they know the deal and when it's clear the management is content to basement dwell, they mail it in and plan Vegas trips etc.
