If we are buyers at the deadline or as the season progresses, we need another RW, and we need a goalie, and probably another defence man. Right now we don't have any options for top-6 RW if Neal isn't going. Hathaway is who I'd try in that spot for 5 games.
Tkachuk-Backlund-Hathaway - It's defensive strong, has special teams balance, and has a hard-nosed corners RW. Hathaway was scoring at the same rate as Jankowski and Mangiapane in the AHL, he could be a David Moss type player with more 5v5 time.
