Depends on the team and the year. People are talking about the Habs, this year. Looking at the holes Montreal have, people preferred to get a shot at drafting 1st overall than getting booted out of first round.
There is a time to really look at the POs as an important learning experience for your up and coming team. This year wasn't it for us.
Agreed some posters made specific reference to this year, but I find that the great majority of pro-tanking posters would either approve or not object to comments equating a first round loss to a failure without any caveats.
But even referring to this year's Habs, I felt and still feel that on balance the Habs are more of an "up and coming" team than they are "spent and falling". No guarantees of course, but the age of our center line, the depth of our prospect pool and the cap space the club has are elements that would help drive a further climb, IF THE RIGHT MOVES ARE MADE NEXT.
