The Vancouver Canucks are going to require a plan if they were to tank. Aside from the ultimate question — whether they should tank or not — this might be the most important thing to do: to map out the trajectory of this disgraceful trip to the bottom of the standings.
Rest assured. The Canucks are not the first team to try this art of #TankNation.
Tanking isn’t about losing. Tanking is simply a potentially painful way of creating a contender. It essentially achieves the same ultimate goal as a successful youth movement achieves — winning Lord Stanley’s hardware.
