Kraken ain’t trading either of those players, highly doubt Drew leaves LA but if he did they would have to eat a tonne of salary since he has 26/27 left at 11 million.
Preds ain’t trading their captain, might as well suggest Makar.
Ducks would have to eat salary on Trouba but he also is far inferior to Ras.
Risto provides no offence and limited defence for more money than Ras.
Most of this list is either vastly inferior to Ras or not being traded (Doughty/Josi). Brayden Pachal is a better comparable for half that list than Ras is.

Putlock and Mayfield would be cheaper to acquire. Harley and Miro bring the O, why do they need Ras? Cap savings helps with signing Robertson and Harley
Preds won't move Josi, sure now they won't but if they are at the bottom again and Josi wants to chase a cup, is it not possible they move on. He is 35 right now.
Dunn is a UFA soon, Larsson is 32. If they are at the bottom, do they consider 1? I think so.
Drew said years ago when they first started the rebuild he didn't want to be part of a rebuild. If they slipped down the standings and started a rebuild, he would go. His NMC is now a M-NTC. They can trade him to 7 teams without his permission.
If you completely disregard cap hit, age and cost to acquire, I guess you made some good points.
