He showed so much in a rookie season which was just his 2nd pro season. I would never trade a player who had such a strong upward trend like Jooris.

Strange post. The thread is regarding expendable players. If you think Jooris is untradeable then I wouldn't want you near my hockey team management. Every year there will be good stories like this for unheralded players that had career seasons but he is what he is which is a bottom six forward with limited upside. I like Shore and Granlund much more than Jooris but I put them in my list of expendable players because you have to give up quality to get quality and it's not like any of the players in this discussion are going to fetch a kings ransom but there is a log jam of bottom 6 players and some will have to go.
