I don't agree at all. There's a ton of talent in drafts now, 1st overall guarantees nothing, and even when it's a star, you have a lot of crap to fix to finish 32nd.
I think it's heavily overthought because once every 37 years someone will try to throw it. Even then, you're asking guys fighting for a shot in the league and guys playing for contracts to throw games. It isn't going to happen. Build the rules around those norms, not lotteries.
Mind you, every commercial in hockey now revolves around betting, so I guess it's more Satoshi Nakamoto to bet on.🙄
