IMHO I wouldn't trade any of Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Ferland, Backlund, Bennett, Jankowski, Gio, Hamilton, Brodie, Hamonic, Smith, Hathaway, Kulak or Rittich. Frolik and Stone I might not even trade either but would be more open to the idea of it over the others.
I like all these players and think we need to add to this group to get to where we need to be, not remove any.
We need more scoring, specifically a right hand shot who can put the puck in the net and maybe a new special teams coach other than that I don't want to trade players (outside of Stajan, Brouwer, F. Hamilton, Bartkowski) for picks.
When players like Andersson, Kylington, Valimaki, Dube, Mangiapane and Fox push for roster spots then we can start thinking about trading players like Stone, Frolik and maybe even Brodie but until then why make moves that will make the team worse?
