Anyone is tradeable. I see the term "he's a guy you win with" thrown around when describing a lot of our players, but let's be honest, we're not winning right now with a team full of guys you supposedly win with. We have a lot of guys who are excellent role players and/or complimentary players. The kind of guys teams with a real shot at a cup might see as the missing piece. Find an identity to build towards, keep the guys who fit, and move the ones who don't.
you can look at Richards and Nash and this year Stepan for that reason.
The big guys are not carrying their weight and that is a major reason.
IF they were more dangerous the rest of the team benefits from that.
regarding the last statement.
Hagelin is a core guy, as is Kreider and Miller. The guys we need to cut bait on are the guys like Pyatt, Pouliot, D. Moore, Boyle.
the last four guys to not identify a core. These guys are all over the place. Pyatt Boyle and Moore provide no offence and are pretty soft. Pouliot is way to streaky and horrible defensively.
