I don't see the NHL ever doing this because parity is the best for business. They want teams to get better quicker, because that will make them more money.

It's an incentive to at least play better. And, if the team happens to be a bottom 3 team, they should at least be given the opportunity to trade down. Gets an asset in return, and you also don't get penalized. I don't want Buffalo tanking for the next 2-3 seasons while we play our butts off without even having a chance at a top tier player.
