People need to settle down a little.
No single player is being gifted that permanent final spot on the bottom line if another top 6 forward is brought in. The plan is clearly to put Rinaldo, Reider, and Czarnik into the lineup whenever the team needs a shakeup. Czarnik does bring some energy.
However, all of these players have now been decidedly passed by Mangiapane and Dube. The rest are vets fighting for playing time. They all have their strengths, but are from from ideal. Then again, it's the fourth line, so playing time is minimal.
