Some teams don’t like the draft in June as it’s out of order
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Holding the NHL draft in June is losing momentum. NHL commission Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly will give it one more try before reaching a decision. GMs should be a little more open-minded and step outside their comfort zones.
Some GMs don’t like the idea of going off points percentage or the idea that a playoff team could win the Stanley Cup and the draft lottery.
There are issues of trade conditions, but those could be worked out in advance.
