It's a consequence of the franchise's chronic poor drafting, and reliance on dealing picks to fill depth positions. Poor drafting means no depth. No depth means you need to spend picks to fill out roster. Deficit of picks handicaps drafting further.
In recent years management has traded away 2x 1st, 5x 2nds, and 2x 3rds for defencemen and goalies because it didn't have ready prospects in the pipeline at those positions.
Now the franchise is woefully thin at forward. And on the cycle goes.
