If you can get something for Pospisil that makes sense you can replace him either internally or through UFA. I think the difference from last season is they have added two more top 9 guys in Farabee and Frost that makes Pospisil even more expendable.

Not a chance Pospisil is moved.
Pospisil provides this roster with a mix of size, speed, physicality, forechecking and versatility than really no other play can match.
He was 4th in the NHL in hits.
He was 7th in the NHL in drawn penalties.
He had a respectable 25 points despite shooting just 3.5%
He can play all three forward positions, and on any line as needed.
He's a very valuable piece who fits the age range this management team has and is targeting. This was just his 2nd NHL season. It would be silly to trade such an asset barring a massive and unrealistic return.
