How about signing Bieksa or Wisniewski to shore up Rafalski's hole on D (both right handed shooters and point men on PP) and pursuing Brooks Laich or Andrew Ladd as a much needed addition to the top forward lines. Both Bieksa and Wiz make around 3.5 mil now and would want a raise, Laich and Ladd both make around 2.5 mil and would want a raise as well. All told, I think we could sign one of the defenseman and one forward for around 7 million, which is offset by Rafalski and Modano's contracts coming off the books. The team would look something like this (not married to these line combos but have to make due with what we've got considering the old guys are under contract and nobody is going to trade for Homer or Bertuzzi at this stage of the game).
Zetterberg - Datysuk - Homer
Ladd/Laich - Filpulla - Franzen
Bertuzzi - Abdelkader - Cleary
Eaves - Helm - Miller/Draper/Mursak
Lidstrom - Stuart
Kronwall - Wisniewski/Bieksa
Kindl - Ericsson
