It doesn’t happen pal. Everyone would have to be on board to tank, and there is too much at stake. For example, telling Lee, Ebs and Nelson to ease up won’t happen. To tell Lehner to let goals in won’t happen. They are playing for millions on their next contracts. You cannot bench them. Someone point out how a team goes about tanking? I can see sitting a key player the last game of the season, but how exactly do you tank in November - March? Doesn’t happen.
GM's can put a roster together devoid of talent to ensure they'll be at the bottom of the league. It has happened, it will continue to happen. Players themselves do not tank.
