After a team is mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, all future wins for that team could be worth 0 points, and all future losses could be worth 2 points. Forces teams to play to win.

Thought about this some more and it makes more sense than it initially did. The worst teams are going to be the teams mathmatically eliminated first. They will therfore, get the most chance to score loser points. The 9th place team might not be eliminated until the last day. The truly bad team is still going to get a stab at lots of wins. I think it would definitely make for a more exciting season finale for a lot of teams. Would also discourage the huge sell offs (which I'm not a huge fan of either), as you'd want to keep your team somewhat competitive.
