Also, with the time difference between Japan and North America, starting the draft around 7:00pm ET would be mid-morning in Japan and none of the high-profile events would be going on at that time anyway.
I don't think any of the broadcasters who cover the draft usually pull double-duty at the Olympics either, so they'd be available.
