[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1779615, member: 746137"] Paying young players more and giving them earlier and more meaningful access to free agency. Leagues don't want to do this for obvious reasons, but that dramatically reduces the incentive to tank. Top 2 is fun with selected endpoints given that the Lightning won their first Cup without Steven Stamkos. You're using Victor Hedman and Drew Doughty for a lot of weight there. This line of argument just doesn't work when you have Patrick Kane, I'm sorry. Same exact idea of a grizzled veteran star. The Blackhawks have the thing you're claiming is necessary, period, end of discussion. Not that any of this is wrong, but you're well afield of tanking as a plan here. Kyle Davidson can do many things, but he's not going to defeat JB Pritzker for Governor. There is no high degree of probability as we've discussed and agreed upon. But, just try to be good. Try and scout the best players you can with the cap space and draft picks you've got, and coach them well. Oh that's dumb, that's ignorant, that's unsophisticated, that's not what the industry REALLY is, you don't ACTUALLY win big that way. Well, there's the ideology talking, that's my entire point here.
