If we were to pay an exorbitant price (people can debate the pros and cons of that) I don't see it being wise to do so unless it's the actual fit we need.

I don't think handedness really matters that much for shooting wingers. I watched every single goal that Hoffman scored for the last two years and almost 60%+ of his goals come from him shooting from the middle and right side of the ice. Handedness on the wing is more handy in the defensive zone (easier to receive the puck on your forehand)
We are also severely lacking a RW one time option on our PP in which a RS player wouldn't really help with that.
