Konechny, Ghost and Simmer are not untouchables. They could go for the right price. Giroux is not tradeable due to his contract. Same with Voracek. But they would be very "touchable" otherwise. So that leaves you with a very short list.
Provorov would not be traded under any circumstances. That's your Flyers untouchable list right there.

I'm very high on Polak obviously. Bibeau, I actually have a lot of time for. I think he has an NHL future. May just be a backup, but I still think he is worth holding onto and seeing how he develops. I am a big believer in him as I have watched him first hand dominate my Mooseheads and winning the QMJHL Playoff MVP/carrying his play over to Memorial cup.
The 1st Round Pick, I think would go into the hard to acquire list. But it needs to be used on a young defender (packaged with a young prospect). I have faith in Mark Hunter in drafting a good player and the Leafs taking their time in developing the kid. But if they can pull off a Dougie Hamilton type of trade, it may be worth discussing. I am just glad the Leafs will not be trading their 1st round picks for veterans (Brian Leetch, Owen Nolan) or some on taking a gamble on a goalie (Toskala) or trading essentially a 1st (Rask) for someone like Andrew Raycroft.
I think Bibeau is playing himself out of an NHL future right now, certainly got jumped on the goalie prospect depth chart by Woll already. He has tools but needs to start getting results soon
I think the 1st rounder could be had for a young defender too, and I have a ton of faith in Hunter but the pick's only as good as the available pool when we go to the podium. Agree that we're not renting players with future assets though, maybe in a few years when we have a real reason to do so

No, that's a fair call. Jones and Werenski are in "don't even bother asking, the answer is no" territory. Wennberg, though a major part of our team, remains in that slightly lesser category of "you'd better be offering something really, really ****ing awesome".
We've got a few other similarly categorizable folks - basically our All-Stars for the last few seasons, plus (thanks to his season so far) Savard.

maybe Aho
requires serious overpayment:
Hanifin
Faulk
J Staal
Skinner
Rask
Lindholm
Teravainen
"untouchables":
Ryan Murphy
Eddie Lack
Larkin and Mantha would be the only ones I would qualify as untouchables.
Athanasiou, Dekeyser (he's the only top-4 on this team), Mrazek and Svechnikov would be a hair under that.

Koivu( has NMC contract with one year left, and is playing very well. If we traded him the hockey Gods would surely jinx us, and Finland would declare war on Minnesota)
Tempted to put in Spurgeon. The guy is ridiculously good, but if the right trade came along you move him.

UNTOUCHABLE
Erik Karlsson
Mark Stone
LONG TERM CORE PIECES (Aka guys who could be traded, but I don't expect the team to do so)
Kyle Turris (Contract up in the 2018 off season. Guessing Sens try to dump Bobby Ryan to make room to extend Turris.)
Mike Hoffman (Our best goal scorer, still signed for another 3 years. Keeps getting better. No one in the org approaching the NHL level has his skill set at the moment.)
JG Pageau (Probably will raise a few eye brows being on this list to those who don't watch Sens every night. He is very important. The Sens prime PKer who plays a huge matchup role at ES against other team's top lines. Proved last year that he can produce in a top 6 role when needed. Don't see him going anywhere.)
Zack Smith (Seen as a big part of the leadership core which will be important to have around as guys like Neil and Kelly drop off. Just took a hometown discount to stay in Ottawa.)
Cody Ceci (Polarizing player on the Sens board. Has been thrust into a huge role playing big shutdown minutes. Dorion+Boucher seem to view him highly despite him sometimes being shaky in this role.)
Guys like Methot, Anderson, Brassard, and Phaneuf are important as well but are all a bit older and might not be around long term as in 3+ years (well Phaneuf might but that's because of his contract).

I like this. Coyle/Brodin are close but just missed
Only Matthews and Marner and maybe Andersen for me. The rest I would certainly trade if the right offer came along.
Stamkos (due to his NMC; I'd be in favor of moving him if it were an option)

Kucherov

Not untouchable but unlikely to be moved:

Only untouchable player in the league:
Connor McDavid
Everyone else could be had if you are insane and willing to get bloody to acquire.
