Gold draft is ridiculous. On top of all the other issues, it doesn't at all take into account the strength of the opponents two teams face. If team A and team B are essentially identical but team A plays their remaining four games against Boston, Florida, NYR, and Vancouver, while team B plays against against Chicago, Anaheim, Columbus, and San Jose, things are incredibly unbalanced. Teams that have harder schedules to start the year will get eliminated earlier and have easier opponents later and will be massively favored by the system, meaning that the scheduling will be incredibly scrutinized and an even bigger source of issues than it is now.
