I'm really hoping guys like Salomonsson and Heinola can fill that void internally. DeMelo and Dillon were good trade acquisitions IMO but neither move the needle they way you describe. Schmidt and Pionk were also acquired through trade and have been less than stellar. Not enough of a sample size to assess Miller but I've liked him.
I think of guys like Morrissey and Samberg being brought up through our organization as our most dependable guys. I think Stanley could still have big boom potential if he can figure out how to not take dumb penalties...but I'll admit he could fall into bust category as soon as next season.
