Frank and Koradek both suck for sending me lines. I doubt they were concerned with the intricacies as much as you. I scheduled QUE G to play the last games, because they never told me to start him any other time. It just worked out shitty for you.
But yeah, I wouldn't have faulted you for tanking this game to ensure a potential spot higher in the draft. But if it's any consolation, if Quebec gets out of Round 1, it's all a moot point anyway, since you'd get 6th overall no matter what.
