Hell, they did an 'Oil Change' documentary. There had to have been alignment on some level of changing the core through the draft.
Now, that rebuild was a failure until they got McDavid, but at least demonstrates there was a commitment to losing before the resurgence.

Dude, they were rebuilding since Gagner and Cogliano were rookies. But no, they never actually tanked, unless it was for Hall and even that year you can't point to moves they made to be worse. They were just that bad as a team.
