The case for drafting top-4 isn’t that it makes you likely to win the Cup. It’s that it makes you more likely to win the Cup than not drafting in the top-4.
If diving to the bottom of the standings gives you a 40 per cent chance of icing a contender once the rebuild matures, and not picking at the top of the draft gives you a 25 per cent chance of contending in that timeframe, then the tank strategy is the better strategy - even if it’s unlikely to make you a contender.
I’m having flashbacks to the CP Iginla Rebuild Wars (2009-12).
