Here is @Dubi Doo 's list:

Ohhhh, we should start a thread on this. My list of 22 and under damn near untouchables would be:

Cozens (core piece)
Power (core piece)
Quinn (I view him like I viewed Cozens before last season. He'll likely be a game wrecker)
Savoie
Kulich
Levi
Benson

Peterka would take a lot to pry from my hands. Krebs is a tier below him.

For me:

Cozens
Quinn
Peterka
Power
Levi
Kulich
Savoie
Benson

Power and Levi of course.

Benson and Savoie, no point trading those while they are still in juniors and these are crucial ELC contracts that can be on the roster when we start being one of the legit top EC teams.. JJP and Quinn still have two more ELC years on the roster and don't see any reason they should be traded. In 25/26 we have our top 9 wings between those four and Skinner+Tuch.

So who is the long term 3C, or at least in 25/26. I see three candidates, Kulich/Krebs/Mitts. No clarity on this yet. I would like to see Kulich at 1C in Rochester next season. Not enough info for me to gave confident opinion, so for now let's just make them all untouchable *this* offseason. Next offseason I would absolutely trade one of those three.

Rosen and Ostlund and the rest are all currently touchable.

I like Kozak&Nadeau as future bottom 6 players so I don't see the point in trading those two for Josh Bloom type returns. So they are untouchable mostly as well due to circumstance.

Untouchables?

Power, and Levi. Because they probably have the highest ceilings.

Cozens next.

Kulich next tier.

But; depends on who you are trading for also....

Here is @Dubi Doo 's list:



For me:

Cozens
Quinn
Peterka
Power
Levi
Kulich
Savoie
Benson
Cozens - too good of a contract to move the player
Power - too good of a player to move

and scene, would trade any of the rest tomorrow

honorable mention to Levi

wingers will never be untouchable for me and with Thomspon and Cozens there's no need to make centers untouchable

and just heard quinn tore his achilles

Power- Obvious
Levi- Obvious
Cozens- Obvious
Savoie- Recent Top 10 pick massive upside (should be obvious)
Benson- obvious
Quinn-Well I can put injured here....trending towards core player
Peterka- Unicorn, sky's the limit

Savoie not being on someone's list here is wild.

Thr isdue here is basivpcally around the forwards of who you keep and who you trade.

you have a few years before that time comes.

they have 10 in Krebs, Quinn, Peterka, Rosen, Poltapov, Savoie, Odtlund, Kulich, benson, Wahlberg

a few will get traded.

Everyone else has a price..
Some more than others.

Although i would add Cozens as being as close to 'untouchable' as untouchable gets, simply because he's already signed long term.

And Levi is only there because Adams has made it so.

I want Kreb to be that 3C for the long-term and maybe it works out this year. If it doesn't, it's Kulich or Ostlund's opportunity from there but that depends on the Savoie/Benson progress.

I think those 4 guys are pretty untouchable as they'll be part of the core group moving forward. While all the other guys I do love they could be traded for the right price. It'll hurt to trade a guy like Savoie, Quinn or Benson, but if it'll bring in a piece to put us over the top then you gotta do it.

Power is probably my only 'untouchable', which is a word I hate.

The rest I love are more in a category of 'don't trade because we're building a roster here', not because they're 'untouchable'

That's how you end up like NYR fans with 34 untoucable prospects.


Org wide the only 3 truly unmovable guys imo are Dahlin, Power, and Thompson.

End of list. Although I can’t imagine what a Cozens trade which makes sense looks like.
