Interesting idea.
If I'm looking at players to build a franchise around with an above average prospect pool, I'd be trying to acquire young elite players like
Forwards- Draisitl from Edmonton as their cap problems will mean they will have to move a good player or Matthew Tkachuk in Calgary for the same future reasons.
Defense-probably trying to acquire a player like Slavic, Hanifin, Dumba, or Hamilton.
Goalie-your definitely looking at a player like Korpisalo, Grauber or Gibson if you could somehow get him.
Coach- I'm looking for a new age coach that excels at talking with players who can get the best out of them. Someone like Travis Green in Vancouver or Arizonas new coach.
Of course you want to be aggressive to get the core you want to build around but once you get those 3-6 players you need to be patient and wait for your prospects to fill the remaining spots with the odd veteran and build through the draft.
