Yeah, getting a player to add to that 3rd line (or re-shape some of the other lines) so that we have three lines that we can put out against anyone would be pretty huge.
Looking at the bad/non-playoff teams today, the big names I see being available at the trade deadline:
Patrick Kane (pending UFA)
Bo Horvat (pending UFA)
Dylan Larkin (pending UFA - but has stated he wants to stay in DET)
Lower tier:
Pius Suter (pending UFA)
Oskar Sundqvist (pending UFA)
Adam Erne (pending UFA)
Nick Ritchie (pending UFA)
Cal Clutterbuck (1 year left at $1.75M)
This season is wild to me. This is the first year where I can truly look at the roster and only see one hole in it - and that's the lack of one top-9 forward. This team looks poised for a run (...6 games into the season).
