Here is a list of realistic options:
Hornqvist
Andersson
Kostitsyn
Anyone playing in Europe who isn't under contract (poaching rules)
Since I don't know a damn thing about European players' contract situations I can't speculate any further in that department without looking like a complete tool.

Not going to be Hornqvist and wouldn't be Kostitsyn since Poile said the same thing earlier in the morning about signing someone and we hadn't made the trade yet. Don't know if either played at the World Championships either. If they didn't, it would rule them out completely but Poile said he's a few weeks away from re-signing Hornqvist but it will get done.
