I don't know...I look at our line-up, and the only place for a "new" player to go would be the 4th line, and preferably someone who can move up the line-up if injuries occur.
Sam Reinhart seems like THE acquisition target to me.
He could play centre on the 4th line, he could play RW on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th line depending on injuries -and then his role could grow over the years.
It seems like a smart move, if he is in fact available and could be had for something like Fox + 2019 1st rounder. We most likely won't get a young player with the ceiling Reinhart has in the later parts of the 1st round - and Fox, who I think is really impressive and likely our best defensive prospect, and one of THE best defensive prospects in the league, could be viewed as an valuable trading piece (...+ he's American and the "will he or won't he" narrative is undoubtedly going to pop up at some point with him and his signing status).
