I used to love these wild draft proposals and now i hate pretty much all of them. The wheel, the gold method, the Oilers project. They all suck.
What we have now will work. There is little incentive to continue to fail except to increase your odds by a few percent. All I think is needed is to even the odds a bit for all non-playoff teams. Once teams realize that there is little incentive to finish last vs 5th last, I think we'll see the obvious tanks settle down a bit.
Plus what is tanking really? Did the leafs tank? Sure they traded everyone away and iced an AHL roster for the last 2.5 months of the season but who cares? They have at best a 1/5 shot of winning the lottery. What other option did they have? Keep all their players? Why? WHy not give the young guys some playing time?
