The key to my growth is timing. If you have the cap money, why not grab some free agents. If you can underpay for a bloated contract top 6 forward because you have cap space, then why not?

A pick is only 1 player. You need more than one player to compete. There is no point in tanking.
Agree. I was actually one of the big winners on UFA day but i dealt most of those players for picks and prospects which fit my plan better. For example, i turned Phillips and Beauchemin into

  1. Stralman, Anton (D)
  2. Orlov, Dmitri (D)
  3. Etem, Emerson (C)
  4. Oleksiak, Jamie (D)
  5. Lucia, Mario (LW)
  6. Jurco, Tomas (RW)
  7. Heard, Mitchell (LW)
  8. 2013 2nd Round Draft Choice (sj)
  9. 2014 2nd Round Draft Choice (sj)
