Maybe a random equally weighted draft for all non-playoff teams is best, but there is certainly a higher degree of luck than most would probably like.
An equally weighted draft would be a terrible idea.

If the Rangers miss by a point and get the top pick that would be bad for the league and bad for teams at bottom that need the most help.

Tanking is way overblown by many (usually fans of teams not getting the top picks or winning).
