Well, yeah, but when your team is the league's personal turd sandwich you're going to have to take it in the teeth on a few trades.

Addition by subtraction, get rid of players for whatever you can get, draft well, scout well and move along.
You don't even have to take it in the teeth when you are in the Oilers position. But you do have to work harder to find bargain players that other teams undervalue or missed entirely. You know, guys like Josh Jooris or Joe Colborne or Kris Russell.

For that, you need competent scouting and management.
