I'm assuming another full time D-man like Martinez + another potential depth guy in case of stupidity with the injuries or if they deal a young guy like Kylington.
Both the depth guys would be like Shore or Fantenberg etc.
3 good players + 2 depth.
I don't think we have the pieces to deal for the parts we need (good players) without eating some of the players we have on the NHL team.

I'm still not buying it. I think we definitely could use (really use) a top 6 RW, but obtaining one would help adjust the rest of the forward group so they're playing in roles better suited for them.
But you originally said we're 5 good players short. You count 2 depth players in your 5, one a forward because you assume we trade another one away. So we're not short that player, we're replacing them.
I think we're short a piece or two, but not nearly as bad as you think.
