In goal I would have to go with Sawchuk. My two defenseman would be Lidström and Chelios, but I could easily replace him with Vladdy, Fetisov, or even Red Kelly.

Suggested NHL Draft System: Honour for Connor | The Hockey Writers
This is not a terrible idea. It would make the end of the season considerably more exciting for the bad teams, but would come at the expense of the trade deadline. Teams are not going to sell if they know that they need to win to get the top pick.
