Honestly, I think you're open business on all players less maybe Tkachuk and Valamaki at this point. There's absolutely no reason to trade a big fish unless someone's looking to overpay, especially with the Johnny - Philly connection and how many good assets Philly has.

I'm sure Brad feels the same way (any good GM listens to all offers)
I'd be all for a retool of the top 6 without a rebuild, pending the players coming back provide similar proven impact.

If TB goes hard on Kucherov they may not be able to pay Point what he's looking for. Would they consider flipping point to CGY (home town kid) for Monahan+ at a cheaper $ with term?
One can dream.

I don't think our core (today) has what it takes to battle long and hard in the playoffs, the speed and intensity/toughness is lacking.
