Players cannot be traded back to the team they were dealt from for 1 full season.

The lottery isn't changing because people are whining about losing it. That's the whole point of the lottery...there could be almost no difference between the last place team and the 4th last place team so what gives you the right to say you deserve first overall more than the other teams that missed the play-offs because you were last? It's a lottery, this is how lotteries work. The Rage had the best chance of winning the lotto and didn't. That's how the cookie crumbles and I can't believe people are actually that upset when theres basically no variation in quality of players in the top 5 of most drafts, sure your pick is a bit later but you still get the highest pick in the 2nd round and the same quality player you would have gotten anyways.

It needs to be changed. I'm not complaining anymore but it just doesn't make sense. That's all I have to say now. Future lotteries should be the same as the NHL.

Funny enough this is exactly how the NHL works. The NHL tried out moving back only one spot and up a max of 5 spots for a couple years and changed it back to everyone having a shot at 1st overall...
Actually I was wrong about the rule being completely undone...but they're talking about completely undoing the only moving back 1 thing now too. But what the NHL does is irrelevant, this is the SHL not the NHL.

I just don't see what's so bad about 4th overall for a rebuilding team (considering our draft and our league which is nothing like the NHL)...especially when you still get 13th as well.
