Well, everyone here who loves the tank thread and wants it open and yadda yadda yadda, here it is, the sowing to your reaping. We are losing, permanently. Hope you're still enjoying it.

To be fair I think theres definitely a reasonable subset of people who want the tank thread open so we can keep the draft pick yapping contained to a sanitary single thread

It isn't disingenuous, it's what people wanted. I don't think they fully appreciated the consequences of doing what they were advocating for. These are the consequences.

This is one potential consequence, but 1) it was no guarantee the Ducks would be this bad this long and 2) there's no guarantee they'll stay this bad. Tanking works, unfortunately. Being run-of-the-mill bad for an extended period doesn't.

tanking works for certain teams...the ones that would best benefit the league that is...

There’s absolutely a guarantee that you’re going to be a bottom 5 team 2 seasons after a raze it to the bones tear down.
