Somebody posted this idea already, but I'm throwing it out there again:
Why is there a lottery only for the 1st overall pick? Have a lottery for all top 5 picks, at the very least. Redistribute/re-weight the percentages in a way similar to how they are now after each pick. Throw a rule in there that you can only drop down MAX 2 or 3 spots.
More drama, and a much better way to insure teams don't go out of their way to tank or ice AHL-quality rosters.
