My recommended expansion strategy:
1. Take Korpisalo from Columbus as your goalie. The single best pick you can make. Can almost guarantee he’ll tend your net for a decade.
2. Take the best D-men available. You’ll get too many D and not enough good F’s, but that’s ok.
3. Start trading the extra D for picks and prospects that will turn into your top F’s.
4. Don’t try to make a FA splash in 2017. Tank in year 1 and get another year of high pick in 2018 before trying to build a playoff contender.
