I wish we could snag Peterka, or Benson but I don't see that happening. Kulich, Rosen, or Ostlund would be pretty good adds IMO. All 3 are slightly smaller, but they're all very effective at carrying the puck, playing with speed, and making skilled plays. Ostlund is the more defensive player of the bunch, and a potential Backlund replacement down the road.

This is bang on, but I have to counter the assessment on Kulich- he's actually 6'1",185, and like you said, he has tremendous speed, wicked 1-on-1 skill, and high IQ. He plays a bit of a hard-nosed game, with a high compete level along the boards, and a fearlessness in driving the net, and his hard, heavy shot might be his best asset. I think he's been cast as a winger for most of his time in North America, but he was drafted as a C with well-developed two-way awareness. I love this player, and would consider it a coup if we landed him.
