I don't think that was trying to tank. That was trading a guy who won't be around when the team is contending and not only getting a young defenseman for him who will but opening a spot for their future number 1 and giving him more opportunity because the starting position is now open.
Staying out of the free agent market just made sense for them and wasn't about trying to lose.
