Had it been the Flames selecting first the past three years this thread would not exist on CP. Honest question; put the Flames in Florida's place this year and how many here would be advocating for a system change that would diminish the Flames chance of selecting 1st?

I disagree, I for one do believe the Oilers are taking advantage of the system and they are now coming back for more. The Draft wasn't set up just to help the Edmonton Oilers every year because they suck. Why do you think they keep using different coaching/management puppets so no one has to take responsibility for sucking the way they do. The Draft should help teams that need it most not just one team that continues to sucks every year.
On the subject of tanking, just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't happen, just because Vancouver pretends they don't embellish doesn't mean they don't do it.
