What about a lottery for the 17th pick? Only the bottom three teams are in it. Tanking to try and get the number 1 pick, and ending up with the 17th, would discourage tanking way more then ending up with the 4th.
As per the rule, that should have been a penalty on Seigenthaler.
Dumb rule, but it's there.
EDIT: not Seigenthaler. The Hurricane that lost his helmet.
I agree, but just because there was something worse, doesn't change the fact that this is really dumb. I guess kids need to be fooled into thinking they are playing the video game NHL.
