Why would we not bring Mangiapane up now if Versteeg is out long term? The only player on the 4th line who you could realistically see pulling out of the offensive nothingness was Versteeg. Stajan, Hamilton and Lazar could all be waived tomorrow and you replace them with better farmhands. They won't do that to Stajan, so I'll settle for a swap of Lazar/Hamilton for Mangiapane/Hrivik.
The team isn't getting scoring from the bottom 6 with any consistency. So bring up the young, hungry kids with some finish in their game. Don't go trade an asset for some scrub, or claim Blake Comeau off waivers. Do the right thing.
