Time for the NHL to change the current NHL Draft system - from a Fail for Nail system to that of a Honour for Connor one - this is how it can be done:
Suggested NHL Draft System: Honour for Connor
Enough of the Bill Daly Lottery Show already.

This system would have had a particulary interesting spin for the Flames had in been in place for the last 5 non-lockout years, as the article looks back.
Hindsight obviously 20/20 on this and things undoubtedly would have played out different had teams known that this alternative draft system was in place.
Here's just 2 of the examples mentioned in the article:
2013-14: From 4th overall to 2nd overall draft slot
Potential Flame: Sam Reinhart (instead of Sam Bennett)
2011-12: From 14th to 6th overall
Potential Flame: Hampus Lindholm (instead of trading down for Mark Jankowski)
*There are examples for 2 other draft years as well.

Of course for Flames Faithful, it would have been great for previous years, but maybe not so great for where the organization is currently at.
Be sure to chime in and vote at the bottom of the post as well.
