Why in the blue hell shouldn't an adult be allowed to choose who they work for? Because we are fans of the laundry the hockey team in Calgary wears? Idiotic.
The draft itself is an archaic idea. The notion that capable adults are required to enter into unbreakable contracts if they wish to work in a specific industry is completely bonkers. The draft as a whole practice should be done away with.
Give teams an annual rookie salary cap. The lowest performing teams from the previous season get the largest amount of rookie money they are able to spend. Then it works the same way free-agency does.
