If we take on a big contract winger, we'd have to either get a center in the deal or follow up with a secondary move for a center. CM is right ... you've only got 8 spots on the wing and we've got most of them well filled as it is.
Still, we SHOULD be positioned to take advantage of our cap flexibility and SHOULD be looking to shark our way into a deal that helps us if one pops up. Even if it means you make one move to turn around and make another one later.
I would only like this if we get either a first line centre or something that drastically improves our goaltending. I really only want three more players. A first line centre, a better goalie (not really that high of a bar) and a fourth line centre. It's not that I don't want Skinner or Faulk, I just think they are our best chips to play to get the players we need. Don't trade them unless we get either a first line centre or a good goalie.
