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.
Sure, draft BPA

But when making trades, and acquiring prospects, why would you ignore team needs? Targeting positions of weakness is exactly what should be done.
