I think I've changed gears completely. I used to white-knight and proclaim I'll never cheer for losses. But I've come to realize you need to play within the parameters set out for you.
In the European sports model, teams scratch and claw to avoid relegation (i.e.: elimination from their current tier) and so clubs are incentivized to play for wins. In the NHL, why would you play for wins with how the draft lottery rules are set up? The minute a GM is honest with himself that his team will miss, you should do everything in your power to tank. Playing for wins is actually the dumbest thing you can do.
