No rentals.
Don’t trade away picks unless it’s for something long term.
Limit contract valuation/term and walk away from a player if you have to
Don’t overpay for goalies.
Helps obviously when you draft some studs, but just being more disciplined around trades and contracts might be a really really good thing.

It is similar to how Chevaldayoff manages as well. He used to get roasted all the time for holding tight, but it is hard to argue that he hasn't done a decent job building a good team in what is arguably the least desirable market to play in out of any North American pro sports league. He might be one of the most underrated GMs in the league.
