The only teams that have won by tanking are the Pittsburgh Penguins (and there's been a lot of "help" from one Gary Bettman), and the Chicago Blackhawks that may not even make the playoffs to defend.
There's also plenty of teams like Florida and Columbus who draft high every season and still ****.
Tanking and drafting is no guarantee.

I said tanking was one option.
I said the main option is being smart in free agency. I said Sather has made plenty of bad offseason signings and it has kept us in that cycle I was talking about.
EDIT: And it's not really tanking, it's rebuilding (not necessarily losing on purpose) but still I said the cycle is broken through smart free agency.
