When we're ready to contend, we can dip into the UFA pool or trade market - the assets will be there to move.
Someone is always unhappy, and when our window of contention opens up again, we can grab another top pairing guy to bump our other players down the depth chart. And they'll get the favourable matchups as a result.

When was the last time a legit top pairing defenceman actually hit free agency? And if one actually does, they're going to get paid way too much money. Filling major holes on your team through free agency is a terrible idea. You either overpay, or the players you want sign elsewhere and you end up with nothing.
