Why not just keep the draft as it is...it seems to be working just fine.

Personal opinion: I hate the way the draft is. The frustration of watching tank jobs plummet through the standings and the fear that we'll turn into a team that does the same ruins the whole thing for me.
If this isn't the solution, I encourage anything else that takes the celebration out of being the worst team on the ice.
We have Bennett, and I'm very happy with that. I'm even happier that I watched my team put through a full and entertaining effort throughout the season. We just didn't have the talent other teams did, and we are addressing that year by year. But not from throwing away games as the current draft encourages teams to do.
