Untouchable is a very stupid word. No one is untouchable.
There are, however, players you'd have to extremely overpay to get though.
Exactly.
I'm probably one of the biggest Carey Price fans out there, but I know if Pittsburgh randomly called up and offered Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, James Neal, Marc-Andre Fleury and a 1st round pick I'd have a hell of a hard time saying no.
Definitely Lars Eller.

Untouchables:
Price, Max-Pac, Subban, and A.Gally
Players I would never consider trading unless I am offered the world:
Plekanec, Eller, Prust, B.Gally, Gorges, Tinordi.
I think the proper term would be "realistically untouchable".
I don't think Pacioretty is untouchable. It really depends on the return.
Galchenyuk is on a different level than all other players. He's untouchable. All other are tradeable for the right price.
I think a better title would be "Who are our core players?". Untouchable is a word reserved for the super elite of the league.

As for core players. Price, Patches, Subban, Galchenyuk and that's about it.
Why do people feel we need to have untouchables? I beieve that no matter who it is if the right offer comes along they are all expendible. I don't care what name is on the back of the jersey you get a good deal coming our way that helps the club you make the deal.
Disagree, Price is at or above his level and even more important to the team, at least at the moment.
