Over the weekend, Mark Spector of the Hockey News wrote a piece calling on the NHL to intervene in the draft order to prevent the Edmonton Oilers from securing another No. 1 overall draft pick.

Much of this talk was prevalent last season, as a handful of teams tanked for the right to draft Connor McDavid. I wrote a piece on The Faceoff Circle last March about how the draft lottery could be reformed.
