I am well aware of why the lotto exists... my statement was that it existed before the oilers started their Multi Year Tank. As in they weren't the first team to do it and it happens in every sport. The Oilers just didn't try and hide it similar to the 76ers... Is it good or bad, is it shaddy or is it part of the game and within the rules, I don't think there will every be a concensus agreement. What I do know is we now have a perennial Hart trophy candidate for at minimum his RFA years. And we are in the best postion we have been in to win a Cup since I was old enough to remember watching hockey (2006 was a Cinderella run) which is depressing as hell to look back on.
