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 if players isn't clicking.

How is this remotely the same thing? PLD is coming off a playoff where he was an absolutely beast, he was down right dominant if you watched Columbus. His value was probably at an all time high despite a rift with a coach. Trading for a guy who is under performing on the ice is vastly different than trading for a guy who has a rift with a coach, value wise.
In terms of value, Monahan is sinking fast, Tkachuk I still think has good value, JG the best of the 3. In contrast the value for these 3 is probably at an all time low.
I never said tearing it down is the only way when a group of players isn't clicking. In fact I said the complete opposite, management has a large enough sample size to know what they have in each player, so hopefully if certain guys start to play well, BT can capitalize and get a team to pay a premium.
I don't disagree that their would be a market for the Flames core, I'm speaking in regards to their value.
