I would hate it if Edmonton won the lottery again but that is what happens with a lottery anyone can win. They could finish 17th next year and win the lottery then finish 27th the next and win it again. Unfortunately a lottery is the best system so we just need to hope this scenario never happens.
It just needs to be changed so that the worst team is not guaranteed a top 2 pick. The draft lottery should be for the top 5 picks with more even odds for the non-playoff teams. If the worst team had a 50% chance of drafting 6th there would be a huge risk in tanking.
