If you rebuild I think this is the path:
First priority would be moving Tkachuk - the contract uncertainty and ability for him to be UFA in a year makes him top priority even though he's only 24.
First names you shop if you are going rebuild would be:
Backlund (33)
Coleman (30)
Toffoli (30)
Tanev (32)
Markstrom (32)
Those are the guys that are 30+ that would have great value coming off the strong team success last year. Of course Monahan and Lucic would be part of this too but probably tougher to move them for any value.
The next two would be:
Lindholm (28 - 2 years remaining)
Hanifin (25 - 2 years remaining)
Probably be able to get great value for them but also not guys you necessarily need to rush to move and can try to get the best value for them.
You need to keep some guys and I think I might keep Mangiapane, Dube, Andersson, and Kylington. They seem to have the right attitude and represent guys who weren't early picks that worked to make the team - always like keeping guys like that.
It's all a moot point anyways because I don't think a re-build happens.
