No, we need to build through the draft because that's the way you become a contender. Then you might be able to add a Hossa or Chara or Niedermayer to put you over the top.
The biggest UFA acquisitions TBL made are: Matthew Carle and Filppula in '12 and '13.
STL biggest was Tyler friggin' Bozak.
WSH = Brooks Orpik
PIT = Gonchar and Paul Martin
