I think they would want someone more established then Kane, although that kind of deal from both sides might make a ton of sense
the above with Malkin if he was ever made available would be the perfect candidate
they still essentially have 3 2nd lines, they need someone to turn that 1st line in to what all the other big teams have
Backes is a good player, but he's not a 1st line center, he's miscast in that role
hindsight is 20/20 but if they knew Seguin was going to be available last summer that would be what they need
