If Sutter can get all these guys to elevate their game and replenish their value and stock around the league, management should be smart enough to assess and determine who to keep and who to move while stock is high, they've had the same core long enough to understand everything you need to know about each player.
If Backlund gets it going move him, if Monahan gets it going move him, if Giordano gets it going move him, etc. Obviously easier said than done but thats the only way to retool on the fly if the organization is hell bent on not going through a rebuild.

You mean like PLD sulking under Torts plummeted his value? Netting that measly return from Winnipeg..
I think you underestimate the market for a Monahan/Tkachuk/Gaudreau even if one doesn't mesh with Sutter.
There will always be teams that see the problem as a needed change of scenery and think that they can be the destination for that.
I agree that you can't build a winner with a no risk approach. I want the GM to take more risks in the form of lateral moves.
Tearing down isn't necessarily the one and only avenue when a group of players isn't clicking.
