It might be a business, but they can't win a Cup if they don't make the playoffs. Playoff hockey is what any competitive player lives for and if you throw that away you aren't going to have players wanting to play here. They will get not wasting picks to add when you are on the bubble, but they won't understand (and/or will hate) dealing a top pair defenseman when you are 6 points out of 1st with a game in hand.
Hopefully the organization doesn't have the same loser mentality as the fans.
