Just a thought I had, wanted to get people's opinnion on this.
This year, due to the lockout we had a draft lottery for the draft positions. Teams got a certain amount of balls according to their standing of the previous season, meaning that lower teams got 3 balls, middle teams got 2 balls and top teams got 1 ball.
Would it not be fairer this way...more excitting for the game. Every team (especially now that a certain level of parity exists in the league) deserves a chance at the first overall.
In the old NHL the bottom teams used to stock up on young phenoms, while the top teams, got rather marginal prospects at time.
In the new NHL we could find ourselves in a situation where the last team in the league is only 10-20 points out of first, do they really deserve to automatically get the first overall ???
your thoughts...
