So I'm actually in agreement that randomizing the bottom 16 makes a lot of sense.
I hate tanking and that teams are rewarded for it. It's one of the worst things about sports now.

It would have some growing pains, and the worst teams would absolutely cry bloody murder with a change like this, but long term it'd be best for everyone.
The league likes the OT point system because teams stay in the race later into the season. If there were no teams tanking, there would feasibly be even more competitive balance and it's good for business.
