They got two wingers in the Whitney trade, one of whom (Chris Kunitz) can step in immediately and play shifts. The other fellow, Chris Tangradi, is a solid prospect, but I wouldn't expect to see him up at the big club this season.

See http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09057/951882-100.stm?cmpid=MOSTEMAILEDBOX for a report on the Whitney trade.

If you look at the depth chart, they have enough for five full lines, though from what I've seen they play with four lines, the top three of which see most of the minutes. They're obviously stacked at centre, and I could see them grabbing a winger in the off-season, but they seem to be content with their current corps going into the playoffs.
