And the best way to get that is via the draft.
This is a damn good draft - both at the top and overall depth.
A top 5 pick in this draft would add a critical piece.
Look what the Avs got with Makar from a down year (or was that their Ottawa pick?)

Their Ottawa pick was last season. Makar was the fruit of their downswing I do believe. They got Byram from Ottawa.
...we need to do what the Avs did if we want to become a true top tier team.
Trade Gaudreau to Buffalo for their 2020 1st round pick and Dylan Cozens (7th overall last year) or something. Buffalo is desperate to make the playoffs and are still a deeply troubled roster.
Sell Hamonic and Brodie for more picks. Deal with the pain of this year.
