Bennett, Monahan, Gaudreau, Frolik, Backlund, Brodie, Gio, Hamilton, Gillies, any 1st round picks. Those are the only things off the table for me.
Anything else is fair game. Yes, that includes roster players like Colborne, Bouma, Jokipakka, plus prospects like Mangiapane, Kylington, Andersson, Shinkaruk etc. Oh and any draft picks in the 2nd to later rounds obviously.
I realise there isn't a great deal of value in whats left, but thats all I'd be willing to give up. Saying that though, if Frolik and a mid round pick gets it done, I'd be tempted, same with Backlund. Yes, you punch a hole in your roster, but it fills a big need long term potentially and 2nd-3rd line centres/wingers can be had in free agency. Young promising goaltenders can't.
