which should come first?

Should we pursue a proven winger with scoring ability or a back up net minder? There are several wingers out there/or rumored to be available. Guerin,Nolan,Afinogenov,Ponikarovsky,Satan,Stempniak,Gagne are a few. I know that Gagne and probably Stempniak are way to expensive for us to consider, but what about Guerin or Nolan? Both are older but still can score and play with grit and would bring proven skills to the Preds. I personally would like for the Preds to go after Guerin. Any thoughts?

wingers:
sully, horny, kostitsyn, dumont, erat
+ centers like Wilson who can also play wing

goalies:
Rinne, and a bunch of kids without adequate pro experience.

I think we should do something similar to the year we signed Ellis. Sign a backup with some NHL experience for cheap, hopefully on a two-way contract, and let him compete for the job with Dekanich & Pickard.

we wont sign any more forward, at least until the deadline so that isnt even in the conversation anymore. if no one wowed them in development camp i could see a signing soon. if not poile may wait to see how it goes in camp and make the decision then.
