Since the lockout, the Flames are the only organization in the NHL to rank in the bottom three in playoff wins, series wins, conference final appearances, and top-five picks. The closest team to the Flames was the Wild, who also ranked in the bottom three in series wins, conference final appearances, and top-five picks, but 26th for playoff wins.

These are the kinds of metrics that should determine draft order.
Make that change, and you'd see tanking pretty much disappear immediately.
