So instead of the teams most needing help, you will instead pretty much guarantee the top picks go to mediocre teams instead?
Sorry, but no. The fact that the Oilers are historically awful is no reason to make a knee-jerk change to a patently awful draft system.
What may happen - if league execs are as angry about the Oilers getting yet another top pick as has been indicated - is that they might put in a rule limiting the number of #1 picks a team can get in a set period of time. But there will not be any stupidly radical alterations.
