ryan has been showing flashes imo, so maybe he could move up the lineup on some nights... not sure if he played with better line mates last night but he looked good.
i think another winger would be helpful...acquisition cost is always going to be the big question... i think its very unlikely to be a Panarin or Stone, due to costs and inability to resign... Panarin probably isn't interested in calgary even if they had the money to sign him.
some of the lower targets might be better...guys like a Dzingle or Marcus Johannson or Nyquist would be more plausible.
the back up goalie isn't a replacement for smith per se... i'd feel way more comfortable with someone other than Gilles in the playoffs as a the emergency third
