You just need capable guys with energy to plug in to those holes.
Gaudreau - Monahan
Tkachuk - 2C Acquisition
Frolik - Backlund
Is a better set up than the current line chart with an overpaid RW upgrade plugged in there.
But might be able to address both. Who knows.

Realistically I think we need to make 2 moves to bolster our top 6 depth and scoring from the front line. Both a center and a RHS scoring winger, RW would be awesome but perhaps even a RHS center who can move to the wing (Tyler Johnson from TB) for example.
Gaudreau - Monahan - _____ Scoring winger
Tkachuk - 2C Acquisition - ______ - Ferland perhaps?
Bennett?_____ - Backlund - Frolik - Shutdown line w/ Scoring power
_____ - Shore - Lazar - 4th line Energy line
Pipe dream would be JT and then our top 2 lines would be more like a 1a - 1b
