MLB draft lottery way better than NHL’s

[Beerz]

Should be based on principles like any other use of the word and in this case they should be expressed and agreed upon by the league. I’m sure you can intuitively gather those principles from a mission statement or similar that the NHL’s executives attempt to direct the leagues goals toward.

This is a whole bunch of mumbo jumbo that said nothing.

Seems pretty simple to me. Maybe you’ve had too many beerz

Yep ... check all those boxes to win the most deserving in the NHL to win #1 pick ..

absolutely not you don't want to reward teams for not playing great to continue to not playing great.

His idea is better than the shitshow they have now.

Just watched it this afternoon. A lot more interesting and compelling than the NHL. NHL made it even more boring a few years ago after Whinezerman complained. I would like to see all 16 non-playoff teams have a shot at the top 5 picks. Why should crappy teams load up for 4-5 years with top 5 picks??? Time to take power away from GMs. Imagine the hype and excitement if all 16 teams had a shot at the top 5 picks in a weighted format that still gives the odds to bottom teams but for first five, not first two.

I hate the teams that pay into revenue sharing getting punished aspect to it though, since the NHL hard cap doesn't allow those team to exert their financial mite in the same way you see teams like Dodgers, Mets and Yankees do it.

I like it , it makes ever winning anything even better , it let's you take pride in your organisations savviness and the players accomplishments knowing everybody is on an even playing field out there.

To make hockey grow , a sport that's virtually inaccessible for the average north american anymore I don't mind making the playing field even. Football seems to be thriving with this system. MLB needs a cap badly right now because the overall league is suffering.


Taxes aside , teams like Montreal and Toronto and the Rangers can afford plenty of "perks" for their players. Plus there's no cap on management and organisational employees

So we have 10 teams that have never won, so they get all the top 10 picks until they win.

Nah they get top 10 odds.

My point is, the lottery formula in the MLB actively punishes bigger markets teams which I think would be ridiculous in the NHL due to the hard cap. White Sox's weren't eligible to draft first because they are deemed big market and therefore couldn't pick in the lottery two years in a row.

Lotteries are so f***ing dumb. Imagine playing a whole season and it doesn't matter cuz ping pong balls

 

[SladeWilson23]

That might be the worst suggestion, especially considering all the lottery luck by your team.


lol, and why doesn’t the worst team, need the 1OA,

Because the team that finishes last isn't always the team with the least amount of talent.
