Players and coaches aren't. Icing an ahl level hockey team will take care of the losses.
Just change the draft to model the Crosby-draft model.
Everyone gets 5 balls, balls removed for playoff appearances over the past 5 years. I would probably remove a ball for every #1OA in the past 2-3 years also.
ie. Use a term of 5 years and give all teams a chance to win that haven't made the playoffs every year for the past 5.
It stops teams from tanking and gives equal opportunity for the teams that are trying to "build" a team. This way, the teams that are trying to win, but haven't been able to, are still rewarded.
What if NHL implements a 1 game elimination tournament for all teams not in playoffs for the 1st overall pick, 3rd place game for 3rd pick?
Force lower teams to try and make playoffs and if they don't they have to beat others for top pick...have teams earn it, Offer money compensation for winning the draft to motivate players to compete and NHL makes additional money with these important games.
I'd like the draft lottery to go away. What happened to the Oilers is because other than the 1st overall each year they have the worst drafting. They have nothing from any other rounds.
If you pick in the top 3 in year A..... Than Year B (Next year), you can pick no higher than 4th, regardless of where you finish...
It will still award bad teams high picks, but will eliminate Teams like Edmonton from being spoiled and having 4 number 1 picks in 6 years...
Sure a team could tank for 1 year.... but I don't think that is the problem... bottom line is the NHL draft would not have been changed were it not for the Undeserving Oilers... It's sinful that this team continues to be rewarded ...it should have been stopped 3 to 4 years ago... I almost vomited when I heard McDavid to Edmonton(By Far the Most undeserving team)
In a system like this, a lottery man not even be necessary.
The Leafs are the only team that appears to be tanking. For that reason, even if there is an issue, I don't want it fixed.
I would like there to be a limit to the amount of first overalls you can get cause of that trash Edmonton franchise. Not really fair that they got mcdavid.

Want to really stop rewarding bad NHL franchises? Eliminate the draft entirely and make every 18 year old a free agent.

Why add the age restriction? Why not have teams signing the 13 year olds they think are going to turn out well?
