As much as I'd like to see alternatives investigated, trialed and implemented, not sure how much difference from current system and minor changes they've recently made.

I can tell you right now, I would not waste the time or money to attend this so-called "draft playoff" if the Flames were part of it.

It would make the trading of draft picks interesting, because you'd know exactly which pick you'd be trading for.

The wheel proposal is actually a horrible idea and the complete antithesis of what a draft is meant to do. What the wheel draft does is take top prospects away from the bad teams that need them to improve and moves them to the top teams that don't need the help.

Imagine if this system were in place, and it was Chicago or Pittsburgh's year to draft first?
