Fixing the draft and tanking is dead easy if ever they wanted to. Which no one does.
Step 1. Let go of the idea the draft is there to help bad teams get better. It’s hasn’t been true since the last lockout. Now it’s a strategy. Tank, and hope for Mcdavid not Yakopov or at least keep tanking til its true. With the odd exception every team in the bottom 10 choses to be there.
Step 2. Set a schedule for the draft order. Once every 32 years every team gets every pick, and every year it varies top 3rd, middle and bottom. Let the best franchise win, not the luckiest.
