Ok but that argument was always major cope. There is no team building strategy where you are slightly worse in the regular season for the benefit of being a bigger threat in the post season. Sutter's 2012 Kings is not a repeatable model, it was an anomaly. They were the only 8th seed to win the Cup in NHL history. actually according to google - first pro sports team ever to win a championship as the 8th seed.
Besides, being on a knife's edge between playoff team and non-playoff team is obviously emotionally turbulent.
