Honestly the NHL should just impose a cap on teams that had already selected first a certain amount of times in a certain time frame and leave the lottery odds the way they are now.
I get the league doesn't want teams to loose on purpose to get better picks, and its a whole image thing/integrity of the sport, yadda yadda yadda. That's all well and good and I really do understand it and this system would change that. However, I feel like a lot of people (fans all the way up to the people at the head of the league) are forgetting that there are some absolutely bad teams that need the best players in a draft to help them become a better team quickly. That doesn't mean that a horrendous team needs the 30th pick 4 out of 6 years, but they should have a better shot than they will next year imo.
Mark my words, teams will get screwed and rebuilds will last much longer under this system. All these fans that are angry about how the Sabres and Coyotes season devolved into loosing will be the same ones crying about how the system is gonna screw their 30th place team out of a franchise player. People need to understand the idea of perspective.
