I don't buy the argument that a team has to tank to get good players. If that was true, then there is a team that has had 7 top 10 picks in a six year span (including 4 1st overalls!) that should have dominated. And as we all know, they are NG! In the short term, getting to the playoffs gives a team a chance at glory. Perpetual tanking? Gets you an E=NG thread at Calpuck!
