All this talk about tanking, reminded me of the Devils and Penguins fighting it out for the #1 pick in the 84 draft. Devils were terrible (mickey mouse franchise) and the Penguins (on the verge of extinction) tanked and made extremely obvious moves to secure the #1 pick. Does Muller still go #2?
What if the Devils had secured the #1 pick and drafted Lemieux, what do you think would have happened to their new teams and their careers?
Does NJ win the cup in 88? Do the Penguins fold? Does Muller become a more offensive player in Pittsburgh?
Just curious what you guys think?
