You know you can't just literally pick them up. You have to give up players in order to get those young assets but if you're not willing to trade anyone except guys who aren't as good as Ferland and Bouma then you're not really going to get anyone of value and likely very late round picks then you'll be spinning your tires with the same last place team.
You don't want to just keep trading for young prospects that other teams don't want. You need to get impact players in order to improve and you won't get those for guys like Colborne or Bollig or Stajan. It's not too often that you can trade a bunch of junk to get a good young player.
