This post has been kind of simmering for awhile, under a different name, but recent conversation has been on the subject of tanking, so I thought I would restyle the title a bit. One other notable end of the season surge was in 2013, when there was a very deep top end of a very deep draft. Indeed, in only his second year in the NHL, our top pick from that draft, Alexander Wennberg is doing quite well. As I recall Nathan 'quit winnin for' Mackinnon was the top prospect of the draft, and he went to Colorado, who won the lottery.
