Well the NHL draft lottery is pretty good, if you qualify for the play offs you're not eligible for the lottery, and the chances of teams increases the closer to the bottom they are. The NHL does like the first ten picks or something as a lottery so the Canucks lost a place a couple of years in a row, there's a few other rules in there too, either way I like it better than just the straight last place finishers get the pick automatically.
