I'd like to have that extra weapon up front for peters to mix and match with in situations when we need a goal in playoffs. The top line has been shut down by some of the better teams in the last few weeks that were playing with playoff intensity and while our depth puts up a nice fight against most, those teams tend to have that "1B" line that makes us pay. 3M chips in but they don't break many tightly contested games. But they could with more skill injected there.
With our goalie tandem were still going to find ourselves needing to outscore our often average tending. If the top line is contained against a top western team were likely hooped, and having swapping Lindholm and Tkachuk as your go to blender move helps a little but lindy is still working with the mediocre skill level of backlund and frolik.
One of the tier 2 forwards won't break the bank and would be worthwhile. This is the best season we've had in my lifetime, by a country mile. I don't want to see it squandered if we can't come up with an extra goal somewhere down the line.

this is my feeling as well: Stone would be great, but its a bit of a pipe dream imo...you'd have to give up a lot and then shuffle things around a lot in the off season to afford him.
i've thought a Nyquist/Johansson/Dzingle would be excellent Tier 2 trades...
Tier 3 would be a guy like Burakovsky or Toronto's Johansson (both young with upside but currently not tapped into really)
