I clicked each of the links and didnt find "Gold" to be an author on any... what is his system?
What if there was a system in place where once you were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, the same point system kicks into effect and would be another column beside W/L/OTL ... if you are truly a terrible team then you will be first to be mathematically eliminated and have the most games to try and earn your points (same as the current system with the 2/0/1.
Team A is eliminated with 20 games remaining
Team B is eliminated with 10 games remaining
Team A is a worse team but has more games to try and continue to win.
At the end of the season, any team not in playoffs has their points added up and #1 takes the #1 pick.
This would keep fans cheering for their team all season long and players competing to win all while keeping it even for the poor teams to have more chances to earn points.
