You really think players would play terrible on purpose lowering their own stock value. Then a generational player comes onto the roster takes one of those players roster spots. Then you have free agents who want to sign to come player with this generational talent and guess whose roster spots they're taking? Probably the ones who played poorly on purpose in your scenario. Makes no logical sense at all.
Except it has literally happened. ESPN literally did a special on it with the Penguins. The players even admitted it. So you can call my posts dumb all you want but I am right, you are wrong. Who is lowering their value on a young rebuilding team? Who is looking for that big payday on the Ducks? Let's see how the Ducks play in the 3rd. I am sure there will be plenty of excuses why it was everything but the players laying off to lose.
