    Being a hypocrite and spending your adult life trolling people on an internet forum is far more disgraceful.

    The Sabres can always tank next year as well.

    Once you embark on an intentional 2 year tank surely your ethics won't stop you from going for an intentional 3 year tank.

    Ethics?? Do you care more about ethics or winning?? I am a fan of this team, and I want us to win big time, and this model, (to tank to be GUARANTEED an elite player like Eichel or McDavid) will most certainly put us into position to suceed in the short term and the long term.

    A model? Model?

    Is that what intentionally building a team to lose is?

    Brilliant management strategy!

    The Pens did it, Boston, the NYI's have all done it w/ great success. The other choice is to top out as an 8th seed, and have several "good" players, with no elite players, that can only ever manage to win 1 playoff game; at best!!

    As I say again, my idea of being a fan, and I understand your point, but my idea, is to focus on being as successful as we can be. Which is to say that I 100% agree with our strategy, as non-ethical as it may be.

    The Bruins never did it. They were just that bad when they got Joe Thorton under poor management.

    I have never seen a team tank in one year and then plan to tank the next season as well like the Sabres have.

    You may be right on the Bruins. I suggested that w/o thinking. I totally get the ethical dilemma, but at the end of the day, I want this team to be as successful as we can. The way we are going about making this happen is totally the right thing to do for the team and the fanbase, but not so much ethically.
