Tanking doesn’t guarantee success. But not tanking almost guarantees never being elite. That’s just the way the NHL is designed.

St Louis just did it unless you think Bouwmeester, a player they didn't draft, was the reason they won
In the last 40 years only 9 1st overalls have won a cup. Lemieux, Murphy (not with the team that drafted him), Modano, Lecavalier, Kane, Fleury, Crosby, Ovechkin and now Stamkos
