The premise here is that this team does not have the depth we thought. Upfront we see that a loss of a scoring winger is devastating, Foligno is not suitable as a fill in nor is Greenway IMO and moving them up hurts the shutdown line. This gets compounded when a bottom 6 guy goes down. On the back end, Dumba’s absence has been a huge blow and Addison has not yet shown he’s a viable replacement, even if he has looked strong he’s still a 3rd pairing guy. Couple that with fading play from Goose and that is a big problem. And I won’t even touch on goaltending….

So my question is, what, if anything, can be done to add the depth needed for the playoffs? It is almost guaranteed that a top 6 player and a top 4 defender will get hurt and you need to cover that. I am specifically not addressing the C position. But here are some ideas.
