Obviously I don't expect you to come up with, "Trade for the 79th overall pick, draft the diamond in the rough top prospect of the draft. Following season, make trade on December 19th sending ____ to ____ in exchange for ____."

I'm saying, do you build through free agency, rely on your existing stable of picks. try to pick up college free agents to supplement your winning roster?

How do the Flames get 3 players like Landeskog, Duchene and Ryan O'Reilly? How do the Flames acquire players like Toews, Kane?
Pietrangelo, Berglund, Backes?
Lucic, Krejci, Bergeron, Marchand?
Kopitar, Quick, Brown?

How do you build a champsionship core of players?

Good drafting and development.

....and not just with very high "lotto" picks, but you need to find and develop some gems in the later rounds.
