In recent NHL history, the Capitals, Devils, and Blues have all systematically moved out significant veterans for picks and prospects as part of a long-term strategy.

And of course, there are a host of NFL, NBA, and MLB teams that have done the same thing. As I noted, it's not a strategy confined to the NHL, and it's not new. Google NFL rebuilds.
