• Lottery odds freeze at the trade deadline or a later date.
• No longer allowing a team to pick top four in consecutive years and/or after consecutive bottom-three finishes.
• Teams can’t pick top four the year after making conference finals.
• Lottery odds allocated based on two-year records.

• Lottery extended to include all play-in teams.
• Flattening odds for all lottery teams.
The bolded are all things the NHL should adopt IMO.
