Default Fix the NHL

There's plenty of things that could be better and officiating is probably #1 but there's a lot of others.

Here's three I would like to see.

- Draft Lottery:

The lottery should be an entertaining TV event bingo style with all 16 teams that miss having a chance at #1. bingo balls with team logos.

16th place - 16x3 = 48 balls (flames this year)
15th place -15x3 = 45 balls
-
- so on
3rd place - 3x3 = 9 balls
2nd place - 2x3 = 6 balls
1st place - 1x3 = 3 balls

big drum rolls and the first team with 2 balls gets 16th overall, all the way down to the team that only has 1 ball come up for #1 overall.

Offside challenge rule:

Irks me when a linesman misses an offside by inches and the play goes on and on for eternity but gets called back.

Fix, if the play goes 10 seconds or 4 touches of the puck there is no challenge.

NCAA loophole:

Yes, it's a loophole because teams can't sign these players while in school.

Fix, if player doesn't sign with drafted team they must return to the draft (if offered a contract)
