This doesn't make him untouchable but rather a piece we'd rather hang onto unless someone overpays for him. Since no one is likely to overpay for him I don't think you'll see him moved. Clearly untouchable isn't the correct term. He's a promising young player and we're more likely to keep those types of players than deal them away, unless we're dealing from a position of strength and too much depth.
We're much more likely to trade one of our defense prospects than our best power forward prospect. If we draft Matt Tkachuk and sign Milan Lucic then we can start to talk about trading away power forwards lol

never argued that...just said he is far from untouchable, not even a proven NHLer
