Plekanec, Markov, Weise, Flynn, Byron, Eller, Desharnais, DSP, Emelin, Gilbert, Scrivens
All of them should be available, free up cap space, move as many as you can, get as many young solid assets and draft picks as possible and retool in the off-season, cash in on guys like Boedker, Okposo, then sign depth role players/let younger kids earn the spots in the bottom 6.

Plekanec and Markov. Get young players who were born with a set of balls for playoffs and when times are bad.
Rivet once go a 1st ... one never knows what one does when one is desperate.
Moving them for any less is worthless ...
Anyway, a fool aims low, not high ;-)
I agree, but I get the feeling we will hold on to Weise, unless we get an offer we can't refuse. He seems to bleed bleu blanc rouge.

Honestly, it is doubtful any of those picks will be given for those players. Keep in mind contracts that count as much as the player now:
Pleks ... at $5M then $6M for two years. Too expensive a contract for a 33yr old. No biters on that.
DSP ... who would want him as a rental? Probably better deals out there.
Gilbert ... who wants him as a rental? Only someone desperately short of defensemen for the playoffs. A maybe.
Condon ... a backup rental goalie for a 1st or 2nd. Doubtful any biters for that.
Picks are also held much closer by GMs now than before, They aren't so willing to give them up as a few years ago, especially 1sts and 2nds.

I'd be shocked if Markov is flipped, but it also makes a lot of sense ... don't know how Markov would feel about it. A last chance to win the cup? Or would he rather just stay with the Habs? Either way, if we could get good return (like a 1st +) then I would do it ... he won't have too much longer here anyway.
It depends on needs. Some teams may take the chance if they think that X fills the roll. Also, we gave a 2nd for Vanek not too long ago, with no real expectation to sign him. Similar for Petry, too. Some GMs are less reluctant to take a risk.
I don't think he is suggesting to trade all. But, rather, that all are available, if the Price is right.

Easy to say, hard to do. Moving players like Plekanec, Markov, Eller, Desharnais, and Emelin with larger multi year contracts is not what other teams are looking for and become hard to move without taking an equivalent back.

Sadly I doubt they will ever move Desharnais. And the excuse is totally irrational: he would not get a good return (i.e. nobody wants him) therefore we are best to keep him (and play him 18min /game).
I guess Eller, Plex, Markov, Emelin, Gilbert could be moved, although I disagree with doing that.

He's the only one that can lay a hit on the entire team.....we'd be warm butter soft if he'd be gone plus he's not as bad as people make him out to be...the guy plays pretty good with Petry, really good second pairing!
Who would take DD? Maybe someone desperate for a third line passing center, but with him on the team, it seems that playoff success is less likely. If only he were 5'10+. We're stuck with him till we replace him, or until he is claimed by Quebec in the expansion draft.
But, I'd take a 2nd for him
I'd move him if the offer is right, and look for another hitter in the off season. Also, Pateryn hits, as well as McCarron. Too bad we moved Kassian. He hits, too.
But finding a hitting D should be hard. Bartley may do it a bit, too.

I like Emelin's physicality, but he spend too much of his time in the defensive zone.
For 4.1 million, Habs can do better. He's the first non-UFA contract I'd try to sell. Desharnais second.
