Bad luck could keep a team at the bottom of the standing indefinently.
What if the Flames had been unlucky and got the 16th pick the last 2 years instead of Monahan and Bennet? Does this seen fair?

Except that the successful teams stay competitive despite late first round picks. Teams will get better by developing better organizations, especially scouting departments and non-playoff teams will still get to pick before playoff teams even in my scheme.
