Tanking is the easiest, laziest, and most random path to success. It is not a plan.

Regardless of whether you call it tanking or not, the way you win Championships in the NHL starts by drafting in the Top-5, generally multiple times. After you do that, then there's plenty more to do - but you can't skip that part.
It's not easy, it's not lazy, and while there is an aspect of randomness (year to year fluctuations of draft class qulity being the biggest random component) - and yeah, it is a plan.
The weird dismissal of the fact that having the best players gives you the best chance to win is so...weird, and so very Calgary Flames.
