I like this idea. My suggestion to keep things simple is to use the NHL draft lottery as our own. Give the teams a corresponding NHL team that sits in their exact position in the standings and have that team represent the CPHL in the lottery.
For example if Pittsburgh places 27th overall in the CPHL and Edmonton finishes 27th overall in the NHL then Edmonton's position in the NHL lottery would determine Pittsburghs in the CPHL. This keeps things simple and eliminates a lot of work from the commishes and the league.
