Some of you people are so weird about the whole tanking thing. You guys act like this is a video game or something and franchises are closed off entities doing things with only one goal in mind at a time and everyone is always 100% bought in to that because they will be a part of that franchise in perpetuity. If that were the case, then sure, your weird ass solutions to prevent "tanking" may make some sense.
Right now? Its so ludicrous. Why would would be free agents on the Sharks give a rat's ass about some tournament to help their draft pick? Why would the coach who most likely won't even be on the team in 2-3 years care about improving the organization's odds about picking someone higher? And the whole tanking thing, do you really think players, coaches, heck even the GM who all are most likely not even going to be a part of the organization in 5 years are willingly sacrificing their own stats, success and potential future earnings to help the organization get a higher pick?
Every few weeks some of you guys come up with some grand solution to tanking, when its not really an issue. Bad teams exist. They always have existed. The draft is designed to help the bad teams get better, cause bad teams being bad in perpetuity does not help anyone.
Its like you have decided that having bad teams in your league is a terrible problem that must not be allowed. But also, the solution is we will make one of the ways bad teams can get better be as hard to obtain for those teams as possible. That will fix it!
