This is extremely simple: just make the first 16 picks random between non-playoff teams.

The league is tight, there really isn't some massive difference between the teams in the bottom half of the league, and if you eliminated tanking, the differences would be much, much smaller.

The current system is the worst they could have come up with. It heavily encourages tanking, without actually guaranteeing the bad teams get "help". It's a system only people who don't understand math or games could think is good, and the fact that the NHL uses it tells me the league is not run by smart people.
