There are a lot of things managers of hockey teams cannot control about their city.
Only 2 or 3 Canadian teams would be viable under this format (Toronto, Montreal, maybe Vancouver). Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Ottawa would be picking 25-30. Every year.
It confuses me that a Flames fan would want this.

I realize it was heavily flawed. There would be no way it would ever be considered. My points were that the current system is rewarding tankers and that the players are almost being punished for being good.
However, what makes you think Toronto and New York would be the automatic first choices? They wouldn't be mine.
