What's the upside for making it so every team that misses the playoffs has a shot at #1 overall? The old system where you could only move up a certain number of spots for winning the lottery made so much more sense, people are going to riot if a team that just barely missed the playoffs somehow gets McDavid as a consolation prize.
It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense why the #17 team in the league should have any statistical chance at the first overall pick. Imagine the LA Kings missing the playoffs and winning the lottery. Instant dynasty.
