Everyone throwing out names like Zucker and Kadri is all fine and dandy but I'd be trying to get guys like Kapanen instead.
With Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Backlund, Bennett, Mangiapane and Dube all as current and future top 9 players it would be nice to add at least one other Rhed shot to go along with Lindholm.
Ryan and Hathaway are good pieces but Ryan is 32 and Hathaway is a career 4th liner.
I feel like this is more of an issue than we realize as only having one right shot on our top 3 lines IMO makes us easier to defend.

Kapenen would be a fantastic add, and instantly be our top line RW. He is the type of player Johnny needs, excellent shot and loads of speed.
I don't think it would be too far fetched to think Brodie + could land you him. The Leafs are in cap hell, 73 million tied up next year and still have to replace both Hainsey and Gardiner on D and sign Marner, Kapenen, Johnsson.
Brodie + Jankowski for Kapenen
