Not sure how you think NHL picks are more valuable.
Think of it from a statistical point of view:
1) roughly the same number of teams
2) roughly the same number of picks
3) in any given specialty, whether it be hockey, football, art, or playing the piano, there is exceptional, followed by great, followed by good, followed by average, etc.
In each case, the quantity rises as the quality subsides. In other words, you are always going to get a parabolic return chart.
My first thought was to consider the differences between the NFL (or soccer) and hockey. But then I realized that those differences are irrelevant - this is a statistical distribution problem, not a NHL vs NFL problem.
