Only the Oilers make it look easy and that's because they have a special level of ineptitude in their organization that simply can't be replicated. The Canucks keep trying and they keep missing out on top 3 picks. It's not easy to tank and win the lottery as there's always another team or two that's eyeing the first pick as well and the lottery odds aren't as favorable as they were. The Leafs did pull off the tank for Matthews but they were pretty fortunate as the Canadiens ended holding 11 potential combinations matching the Leafs with one ball to go so it was basically a coin flip they won on.
