If we can make space (and I think it’s time to move on from Monahan and Lucic), maybe we can get Stastny on a short term deal. Neutral on Milano, he’s bounced around and not getting qualified is a red flag. There was that incident with AJ Greer so maybe not the best character guy. Rodrigues benefitted from increased minutes on Pens with Malkin out, don’t see him repeating those numbers.
If Stastny isn’t available, maybe a guy like Henrique would fit bill. Played well with mangiapane at worlds. Schmalz would be fantastic but probably too much to acquire. Still think Montreal might want to do something. Dvorak perhaps? And as a total wildcard, since Chicago is trading everyone, maybe a guy like Kurashev.

It's unfortunate that the Flames were unable to land Burakovsky. Perfect fit for the 2nd line if he had signed here.
