Also, from an asset management position, sign free player, trade one for assets rather than losing one for free.

No, not tough in the literal sense, more like, willing to take a hit to make a play sense. Zadorov served up more than his fair share of pizzas in the slot. Plus, he'd be way too expensive to re-sign, this team has no cap space.
Off the top of my head, maybe an Ian Cole type (pre-breakout). That guy just always seems to play deep into the playoffs. Has 2 Stanley Cup rings to boot. This organization needs to start focusing on adding players who are built for the playoffs.
EDIT: Not necessarily guys who just happened to play on winning teams, but guys who raise the level of their game and drive their team's success in the playoffs.
