I guess. But somehow they would have to want to lose a lot to get to the elimination point, but then suddenly turn on a dime and start to accumulate points? How realistic is that?
I think you need to watch for teams healthy scratching guys on purpose to do that, but you can make rules for that.
The other interesting dynamic is would the players actually be motivated to try and get a higher pick? Probably not.
