I still think something simple like every non playoff team gets 1 ball, since we have to add an "oilers clause" if you were selected top 3 the previous year, your teams ball is not added to the mix until after the first 3 picks have been selected, this would prevent one or a number of teams lucking out and getting multiple top picks year after year.
Not perfect, but it keeps it fair for all non playoff teams and prevents tanking as standings will have no effect on the outcome. It's simple and a heck of a lot better than the current system although I suspect a better system could be devised without much effort.
