You'd need a team with a second very strong RW who needs a D. and even then I don't like the hole you've just created. I just think the D depth and transition game is more important than an extra 15-20 goal man.
The closest fit I've seen is the Nylander proposal.

Yeah I don't think Hanifin is a elite player either, its just weird thinking we can take him off the team and things just roll on. He finished 6th on our team in points last season. How much of a difference is a winger going to add? Its not about being better defensively he contributes on the offensive side as well especially in the transition game.
The only name brought up so far was Pastrnak and I don't think he is available.
