Yep. Huge emphasis on point 3 IMO.
While building through the draft isn't the ONLY way to build a successful team, it's certainly the best one. If you could sign every UFA at a discount, you'd compete for the cup every year. However....well, you simply can't. You have to find other ways to take your budget (limited by the cap in our case) and get the most of it. Every underpaid player is like extra cap space in a way. Drafting and developing your own players is the best way to do this. Simple.
