Obviously the need for a top pairing dman is glaring, but one other need that perhaps has gone overlooked is for 2 3rd line forwards. One could argue that seto'[s return will provide a much needed 3rd liner with punch, but they got absolutely nothing from their bottom 6.
The top 6 forwards and boyle all have over 20 pts. The next best forwards are seto and mitchell with a pathetic 7 points, on pace for a whopping 21 for the season. that's 4th line production, not third. Not a single bottom 6 forward is on pace to break even 10 goals this year. The sharks really miss Manny's 3rd line production and mitchell obviously isnt cutting it.
Dougie's got a whole shopping list of needs, I'm sure, but perhaps a legit 3rd line threat should be near the top given the likely low cost of such an acquisition. How about going after jamie Langenbrunner??? Rental, yes, but what a heart on that guy and he can definitely be a threat to score and has 2 cups to his credit. 2.8M cap hit makes him affordable if they dont mind moving mitchell, Mcginn, and/or a mid round pick. I dont think it would take all that much to get him...
