As for the bottom place teams, they all had superstars, or have young talent, in their system. It's the same teams drafting high over and over. Perhaps getting the first pick overall isn't their problem, it's something more fundamental than that.

Sure there is no way to fix horrible management. The Islanders and Oilers are going to suck under any situation because they have stupid management.
But what we have seen is teams like Anaheim, LA, Chicago, Pittsburgh finish bottom of the league and use those picks to rebuild into top teams in the league.
What happens to Chicago if instead of Toews and Kane they have Jiri Tlusty and Lars Eller?
Even with their smart picks of Keith, Bolland, Shaw etc. they are a constant non-play-off team.
