The NSHL draft lottery would work just like the NHL lottery. First, it is weighted, giving the bottom temas the best chance of "winning" the lottery. Also, the highest a team could move up in the draft would be 4 spots. So, only the bottom 5 teams would be eligible for the top pick. If, by some miracle, the Muffs won the draft lottery, they would only move up 4 spots, and pick 20th instead of 24th.
How does that sound?
