I would have playoff experience (specifically prior playoff success) as a prerequisite for any player I bring in.

A lot of near-replacement level players being brought up. Sure, they might be a marginal upgrade. But I don't know if I'd feel better about Gagner or Brassard in a 3C role over Monahan. Either way, I think they could get rolled by the depth of a healthy Vegas or Colorado.

Need someone that can play in the big games, even if they're not going to hit the scoresheet every night. That's what you need.
