Seeing how cash strapped we are I'd be willing to give any of Joel Armia, Tobias Rieder, or Anthony Duclair a chance at earning a top 6 spot here.
I want Eric Fehr as a 13th/14th forward should be able to sign him for $700K versatile in that he can play wing or center, good on the draw, and an asset on the penalty kill. Not a flashy signing, but we could use some more veteran presence on occasions and at a point in his career where he likely won't raise a fuss about not dressing most nights.
I'd take a flyer on Oscar Lindberg one of the very few players who didn't have career or near career years in Vegas, got healthy scratched a fair amount, but he has some skill and had some decent success in NYR previously could probably be had for a late pick.
Austin Czarnik to me is someone who makes sense for us to sign, we are probably his best shot at NHL employment given our wing depth, he's not super coveted so likely can pass through waivers, he'll help the AHL team a lot and if someone drops the ball or injuries hit us he can get another shot at the NHL.

I've liked Burakovsky in the past, but lately he hasn't been playing very well and despite not being a small man by any means, he seems to get pushed off the puck rather easily. I'd pass on him, I also feel like teams tend to pay a premium for any player off a cup winner, even when it really doesn't seem warranted.
I'm open to the idea of Petan, but I'd expect the cost to be real low, very good chance WPG waives him. I'd be patient here likely the cost comes down if they bring him into camp and he fails to make the team again.
