I cannot think of anything more competative than relegation, you want to stop tanking for a pick? kick the bottom 2 or 3 teams out of the league and promote from the major jnrs. I give you that it isn't really practical in hockey but it would fix that aspect.
The only thing relegation and promotion is hostile to is big business sport, it is an ultra competative system though that ensures bitter death struggles at both end of the league.
