there has never, ever been that level incompetency in the history of pro sports...
the fact that the NHL is looking at another tweek to the rules speaks to that.

But the horses have left the barn in this case.
My problem with the Gold Plan is that people are mad at the Oilers and want to change the draft in order to prevent that from happening again.
But IMO, it's extremely unlikely to happen again anyway. The Oilers have not only been extremely lucky, they have also been extremely incompetent.
The chances of that combination happening again, to that degree, is extremely unlikely.
So why change the draft and effectively eliminate the primary purpose of the reverse draft, simply to try and stop the Oilers (who have already left the barn)?
