You should not fix what is not broken.

I'm currently sitting in a 4-way tie for first place in my league but sit on top with most overall points (by a 9-point margin), and I'm looking to retool my roster (below in signature) with some FA acquisitions or possibly thru a trade or two.
Of the people currently on my roster (and taking my unique league's point structure) who do you guys think I should Drop/Replace or group together for a trade? Also, who should/could I target in said trade(s)? Finally, does anyone see any glaring holes to fill? Any position in particular I should focus on?
Here are the current top FAs available as I see them (unless someone has anyone specific in mind):
Forwards:
Brandon Dubinsky (C,LW)
Paul Stastny (C)
Patric Hornqvist (RW)
Mathieu Perreault (C,LW)
Boone Jenner (C,RW)
Lee Stempniak (LW,RW)
Vincent Trocheck C,RW)
Charlie Coyle Min (C,RW)
Mikkel Boedker (LW,RW)
Vincent Lecavalier (C,LW) [anyone think Vinny will heat up playing for LA?]
Defensemen:
T.J. Brodie
Matt Niskanen
Seth Jones
Michael Stone
Colton Paryko
Sami Vatanen
Tyler Myers
Goalies:
Louis Domingue
Cam Talbot
Jacob Markstrom

Haha if you really think there's no room for improvement then I won't bother, I just thought maybe I can strengthen some positions, or dump some weaker players for ones who are on the upswing. For example, I'm a bit frustrated by the lack of contribution from Evander Kane and Ryan Getzlaf (I imagine all Getzlaf owners are kicking themselves for drafting him so early this year...), I'm not saying I will drop either of them, but I just don't know what to do with them other than bench/temporary replace...

Try to swing a deal for a second quality goalie and use these FAs to fill the gaps post-deal. There's some real gems in there that should no be free agents.

no person who drafted Ryan Getzlaf should be mad at themselves. Based on the track record selecting him was not an unwise choice but he is going to be another casualty of the league's shift to a focus on speed which he lacks tremendously. I drafted Giroux round one and Voracek round two and I still do not regret it because I was under influence I drafted an elite point pair and G has brought me several titles in years past. I am still in first because of my immense depth but nobody should kick themselves over a bust there is no way to predict it honestly especially when a player has benn consistently excellent. Should you feel the need to make some moves keep an eye on Hornqvist that offense is percolating and he shoots and hits alot so he will cover categories. Dubinsky is a player I always draft as his category coverage is highly underrated. E. Kane or B. Schenn would be the ones I would drop if I was in your shoes for either of those guys. TJ Brodie is a good D man but not as valuable as the 3 you possess but if you want to replace a bench forward with a D he's the one.
