The worst teams in the league shouldn't be the ones to have the best chance at selecting first in the entry draft. That's logical.
Who cares if they suck so bad they're gonna pick first. They're not making the playoffs or the cup, so they're losing on on revenue. It's still a crappy position to be in. Why make it crappier that the teams in most need of a top prospect has no chance on first dibs? The idea is to get these teams to be better quicker; not longer.
