Every team has the same goal and that is to win the Stanley Cup. It brings benefits all across the board for everyone involved. The best way to help the bad teams get better is to give them the best prospects. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes teams abuse the system. Changing the system is not going to change that. It's just going to change the way teams abuse the system. The current system is fine. Make some tweaks if need be. There is never going to be a perfect system. All the whining about the system likely stems from our biggest rival getting many high picks and the fact that we keep winning just enough to not get them. If we were to switch the scenarios likely no one says anything. The whole crying about "tanking" just gets tiresome. I'm far more concerned with who we are going to land with our pick than I am with if teams are tanking or not.
