How does that change the premise that the worse teams need the better picks.
Tanking is the only way the small market teams can survive.
Just because Calgary refuses to partake in the best way for them to become a contender, shouldn’t mean we need to change the rules to favour them.
It will never change that the worse teams have the best odds of the best picks.
Nor should it.

On what basis can you say "tanking is the only way the small market teams can survive"? That's a pretty extreme statement that lacks evidence.
For me, I don't like rewarding failure. We see examples of teams stripping down and trying to ice a losing team. We see it most sports. I don't think that's a good trend.
