Yes you can just pick them up, it's called the entry draft. And yes you can just pick them up, we just traded a tweener guy for us for a guy who has the potential to be a top two line player. And yes you can just pick them up, it's called trading your UFAs at the deadline for more picks/prospects.
At some point you've accumulated so many young players and picks that you can't have them all make the NHL so you trade them for the pieces you need. Not sure we're quite at that point yet.
