In Tuesday’s Gone Wild Mailbag, after the slow and unmotivated October, I declared GonePuckWild’s campaign to restructure, #LoseForLafreniere, and #BombForByfield. Today I outline what this process will look like.
First, one ground rule:
While we recognize that to properly tank for the best lottery odds you have to finish in the basement of the league’s standings, GonePuckWild will always want the Minnesota Wild to win/compete as often as they can. This is obviously counter-intuitive to the process, but we want the Wild to build experience for the youth while restructuring the roster. Plus, since the beginning of the Lottery Odds system, the team with the greatest possibility to be the “Winner Seed” has won only six times out of the twenty-five opportunities.
