Those are "untouchable" guys. We've already talked about how my definition of "core" =/= "untouchable". My definition of "core" is players we're looking to build around.

Nobody is actually, don't put words in our mouths. Hockey is a team game. Backlund is 1/12 forwards. But he's doing well at his job, we should be looking to build around him. Obviously if you can package him up for a superior player we should do it but the way you're talking it sounds like you wanna shop him, or he's our only asset we can trade. He isn't.
