Is tank for a McDavid a good strategy ? Well it’s a once a decade player so no . But people keep saying it didn’t work for Edmonton and it absolutely did
They got the leagues 2nd and 4th leading scorers with a 1st overall and 4th overall pick

People have weird narratives around here too.
I have seen people claim that the Dallas method works because they are a contender year after year, but they have come close and never won a cup.
Then these same people will say Edmonton shows that tanking doesn't work. Yet Edmonton has had the same success as Dallas, won a bunch of playoff series but never won the cup.
You can't have it both ways. Either they both are contenders or they both are not.
