Frankly I think the draft lottery this year was a Godsend for the sport. It built up more hype on a player dripping with hype (like LeBron) and a lot of people tuned in to simply watch the outcome of the draft.
I think the NHL should officially adopt the NBA style of drafting, though I know unfair for the team with the biggest losing streak but I think that having 14 teams (with the worst having the most balls and the best having less) would be awesome. Not just the top 3 teams, which we will probably know the outcome.
And then the rest of the playoff teams in one huge pile. I don't care if the SC winner gets the 15th pick overall, it's just the luck of the draw and they were lucky.
This would not only build up hype as we wait for the outcomes of prospects but I think that this would be a semi-big television event that could generate income as they start out slow like TSN and such and then try to expand.
