Stick to the plan. Be patient. Keep acquiring draft picks if possible and don't rush any of the prospects. Impact forwards can be acquired more cheaply than impact (top-pair) defensemen.

acquire guys like Lucic, Kassian, Monahan (?) — caps dumps and retain and flip some for picks

¡Oh and how could I forget, fire Eakins and hire Grönborg!

Most importantly hang up the phone every time an ACGM calls asking about Max Comtois and Anthony Stolarz.
