As far as a "tank", even retaining all this "talent" the 'Hawks were behind all the teams in the Central, with no defense and no reliable goaltending. IMO, it is not as much of a "tank" as an acceptance of reality, that the bills for prior success have come due, and this team needed a major overhaul. They were not a playoff team the last couple of years, despite desperation moves, so is it truly a "tank" if your team is already no good?
