It wouldn’t be an equal lottery of course and would be heavily weighted to the normal lottery teams, but I think it would be more fair to give every team a shot under the circumstances.
In some ways it should be like that every year. Teams like the Oilers and Sabres have proven that rewarding mediocrity doesn’t help anything. The bad teams should have the best chance Of winning, but I think all 31 teams should have a shot every year.
