Aren't people asking for the organization to take a realistic evaluation of where the team is competitively, look at some of their veteran players, and maybe decide that it is in the best long term interests of a team with aspirations to win the Stanley Cup, to consider moving them?

Players like Andersson, Kadri, and Coleman signed long term deals thinking we were in a contention window. Things changed quickly, and some short sighted moves from previous management really screwed us over.
Things change, we are no longer contenders. And some players want to win. This is why I don't understand people freaking out at even the suggestion of trading our vets.
We should be looking to get the most value possible from these players. Look at Florida or Vegas or Colorado. They traded players or didn't re sign players who helped them win cups. You have to take the emotion out of it.
If Rantanen can be traded, anyone can be traded.
