The wheel system is absolutely horrible. Its purpose is the complete opposite of what a draft is meant to do. The wheel system ensures that rich/good teams always get top prospects, which takes away from rebuilding/poor teams. How would you feel right now if the wheel system had Calgary drafting 30th this year and Chicago 1st?
