I think they should have tiered lottery system. With the parity caused by the cap and point system, I don't believe the difference in standings positions is truly representative of a teams talent situation any more.. At least not enough to gift wrap generational talent to teams simply because they finish last.
They should take the bottom 5 teams and have all draw for the picks between 1 to 5, each with an equal chance of winning. Then take the remaining non-playoff teams and have them draw for positions 6 to 14. Then have the playoff teams draw based on standings with the Cup winner picking last and have a snaking draft.
