There's "an outer" core, a core, and non-core.
Backlund, Frolik, and for the time being Hudler are outer core pieces for us. Their value will peak if and when we have a deep and successful playoff run as teams that make it to the "final four" generally see their players' value inflated. And you have to "let them go" rather than "look to upgrade on them". For us that will be when the decision on Backlund should be made in my opinion. He's not a core piece but he's an outer-core piece.

Hudler is likely getting shipped in the next week. He's as far from core right now as it gets.
If we make a deep playoff run we can start to talk about guys like Backlund and Frolik being expendable. For now they are quite clearly core guys IMO.
