Nonis and Naylor also discussed other parts of the team that the general manager would like to improve upon.
"Down the middle is what championship teams are built with and watching the final four teams and the final two gives you a pretty good example of what you need to follow," explained Nonis. "If we can strengthen our centre position and continue to add some guys on the back end we would do it.
"Really, that hasn't changed (for us), and most other teams are looking at the same things, so those are the hardest positions to find.
Nonis discussed the changing dynamic of making moves in the first off-season of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
"There are more people now than usual that are looking to do a deal, but because the (salary) cap is going down it's more difficult to complete one. There are going to be a lot of options, but most teams have limited cap space. It will be a moving target between now and the start of free agency."
Nonis also addressed the club's wish to attempt to keep potential unrestricted free agent Tyler Bozak.
"It's a function of making (Bozak) fit within a falling cap, and we have a little bit of time left to do that. We're going to see if we can get him signed by July 5th, but if we can't we're going to have to re-allocate those dollars and try to find another solution," said Nonis.
