Acquire Draft Picks

Figure out a way to get your name in the draft as much as possible.

Whether that’s trading down to acquire more picks like we saw in 2015 – thanks to Kyle Dubas – or trading players at the trade deadline.

Just get it done.

The Leafs did that and look where they are now.

Acquire, acquire, acquire.
