Hart can't be moved. That's the largest piece that was missing for the past decade Giroux was "phenomenal". Imagine if Hart was in net for the past decade - it's arguable - but there might have been a cup in there, especially 2010. It's also the hardest position to find quality in and they finally have it. In fact, they might (maybe, could) have two based on the small sample size of Sandstrom's .929 SV% / 2.24 GAA in his last 10.
IMO - On the block is anyone over 25. If there is going to be a rebuild it needs to be all in this time. Not mediocre like last time. Let's get a top 5 pick for 2-3 years and gather as many picks as possible. **** it, let's pull a 'penguin'. Up for trade are:
A Grade: Couturier, Giroux (NMC), Atkinson (M-NMC)
B Grade: Lindblom, Laughton
C Grade: Hayes (Contract $ limitations & M-NMC)
D Grade: JVR (Buyout)
I'm okay with forming a team around guys that are 25 and under. Again, if this all were to happen we are still 3 years away from being 2 years away.
Forwards: Konecny (24), Farabee (21), Allison (24), MacEwen (25), Wisdom (19), Foerster (19), Frost (22), Ratcliffe (22), Laczynski (24)
Defense: Provorov (24) York (20), Sanheim (25), Zamula (21), Wylie (22), Hogberg (23), Bunnaman (23), (I actually like Ristolainen too but..)
Goalies: Hart (23), Sandstrom (24), Ersson (22)
