The draft has also never contributed to parity. In fact, there was a massive lack of parity until the salary cap came into effect. The draft existed long before that and it never did anything to promote parity.

Well it did, you just aren't using any context.
The cap added to parity, no question.
But the draft was the first line of parity.
Imagine one round of a draft. and then after that, everyone else becomes a free agent... how many of the best free agents do you think sign with Winnipeg or Edmonton or whatever?
