I don't think there's really been a problem with Richardson at 4C, and we have Gawdin/Ruzicka who can step in as well, so I don't think we should be wasting cap space on a 4C that can't provide any offense. I think our only real add at the deadline should be a top 9 RW, preferably that can score (Pitlick has been fine, but 2 assists in 16 games isn't great for a top 9 forward). I'd be interested in adding a guy like Kessel, or Gurianov if the Stars aren't gonna play him right, or another rental (depending on how these teams are doing by the deadline, guys like Rakell, Rust, Carter, Pavelski, Radulov, D.Brown, Donskoi, R. Smith [if Vegas has Eichel cap issues], etc. could be available, which would make Coleman-Backlund-Dube our 3rd line, or the new guy could simply take Pitlick's spot at 3RW, and improve our depth by bumping Pitlick to 4RW). Maybe add a depth D too if we have an injury.
