All non-playoff teams having a chance in the lottery was a good first step but I think there should be an equal distribution at the bottom 5 for your odds.
I team actually trying at the end of the season to win games (Islanders and Flames this year) should not punish them in their draft pick.

Good luck on seeing teams like Florida and NYI ever get back to respactability if they are drafting 13th every year and having salary floor payrolls.
It is a nice idea (especially when it benefits your team) to not have the bottom teams get the top picks but that will work to create a huge gap between the haves and the have nots as the bad teams will be stuck with garbage players with little hope of improving.
I like the NBA draft system where it isn't just the 1st pick that moves but all the lottery spots could change. Still has tanking but at least it does give a little more hope for a team like Calgary that didn't just suck as this year we could theoretically move to say 3 and get a great player rather than just hoping for 1 or nothing.
