I don't see any benefit for them to "tank". They've got a pretty set core in Forsberg, Josi and Saros amongst others, so I think they'd be aiming for a quick re-tool and sold off some aging players with cap and term to improve the roster for next year. In the meantime, might as well give it their best shot to go for it (might attract some UFAs?). They may even flip some of those picks they have in the offseason for an added boost next year too.
