I'm not sure the league would want to fight a legal battle after the strike we just had. If I were a team like the Caps or Rangers and found a team like Colorado or Philly won and got to draft Crosby, would it be reasonable to seek the draft for 2005 be put aside because it is not based on order of finish? There exists no right of top teams to have a chance at Crosby, and no precedent to allow this kind of draft. It seems to me a team could easily argue that a draft not based on actual finish is too biased against history and is unfair to the "losers" whoever they may be.
