Not really that great an article from Strachan but it's not bad. It's already been decided that teams will not lose the rights to their unsigned 2003 draft picks.

I do like the idea of a lottery between the bottom five teams for 1-5, the next 5 teams for 6-10. I think it's completely unfair for playoff teams to have a shot at the #1 overall. Also don't like the idea of making the Caps (and possibly the Pens) ineligible for the #1 overall simply because they got Ovechkin and Malkin last year. Teams like Ottawa and Quebec ended up with 3 1st overalls in 4 years and no one was saying those guys should not be eligible to get it.
