Finally, Tkachuk could surprise.
I don't see that article offering any improvements on the hopefuls that we've already got.

Let's say Chiasson only manages 4th line duty, Pribyl needs significant time in the AHL, Tkachuk and Poirier (still) aren't ready. Now you're left with all the holes on the wings with no other realistic solution.
That's not to say of course, that signing 2 of the mentioned guys would be the ticket to improving the team as a whole or that you're guaranteed to have them as part of a solution. It's not a bad idea to add one of these small gambles where the risk is neglible given the cost, builds better competition than just Brandon Bolig and Jooris. The whole spirit behind that bargain bin is hoping you find a good deal as opposed to dropping your blank cheque on a Lucic/Backes/Okposo
