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.

Comparing Ras to the vast majority of those players also disregards cap hit, Pulock might be one of the worst contracts in the league. Roughly same salary as Weegar but a far far inferior player. Mayfield is somehow worse, a 6/7 dman on any good team for 3.5 million. Dunn would be more expensive than Ras unless the Kraken eat a bunch of salary and would have roughly the same acquisition cost.
Almost all teams avoid a rebuild. Flames are one of the only teams in the past 10 years that I can think of that have fully embraced a rebuild. So that fact also works against the likelihood of any of those players being available. Couple that with that fact that almost none of those players are similar in value to Ras and it is pretty much just a list of defencemen.
