It would be nice if they could come up with a system something along the lines of taking the last 10 games of the season for the bottom 5 clubs and rewarding them first overall by means of best winning percentage. Win your way to the top pick versus tanking.

A bad team might just be a bad team. If they can't win at the beginning of the season they can't win at the end.
And just anomolies that happen in 10 games would ruin the draft. The Flyers would be one of the 'worst' teams this year with their 2 wins in their last 10.
Tanking is overstated. Buffalo sucked for McDavid but the team was intentionally bad, not the players. Outside of that, I doubt there's much of an active issue of tanking.
