EDIT: when you look at this list you see what kind of player actually impacts (note that Dmen are kind of different so other than Kaberle I didn't look at themn as much - arguably Manson was a factor providing depth last year). But for forwards it's middle six guys who maybe can play with the top guys from time to time, like Kunitz.

The teams that traded for the middle 6 players already had a solid top 6 in place. If you're going in to the playoffs without a solid top 6, you're not going far.
