Identify the roles that you can rarely get in a trade or free agency (i.e. 1st line centre) and draft/trade for prospects who have a chance to fill that role whenever you can get it.

Carolina/Toronto HAS 15 Johnny Gaudreau's, and yet they can't make it anywhere in the playoffs.
Chris Tanev's don't just grow on trees. And you need a Chris Tanev to win a cup.
