Hayes, Kreider, Nyquist and Zuccarello will all push the needle towards being able to do so.
I like the defence, but I think Kronwall could make them better. I don't see an option to upgrade goaltending with Carolina in the playoff picture so those are pretty much the targets.
I think you need to come away from the trade deadline with one of the those assets without trading from your 18 man roster.

I'm hoping for a TB vs PIT first round matchup, not only because I think the Pens could knock them out but because it would be entertaining as £#€%.
