If any defenseman gets moved, it's most likely Martinez in my opinion. When he's healthy and on his game, he's very valuable. He just has an injury bug he can't seem to get rid of. McNabb is a very valuable defensive player who can stick around for a while assuming he's willing to keep the same cap hit or less.

The definite untouchables on this team heading into this coming year are Eichel, Marchessault, Stone, Theodore, Karlsson, and Barbashev.

The probably untouchables are Pietrangelo (expensive and on the decline, but has a NMC), Stephenson (depending on what he wants on his next deal), Roy, Whitecloud.

The probably keeps but I could see being on the block depending on how the year goes are Hague, Martinez, Hill, Carrier.

The only player I expect to be moved depending on if he takes the next step or not is Cotter. I like him as a person and player, but he could be more valuable as a chip than a player if he doesn't solidify his spot in the lineup.

At this point, I'm not sure if any prospect is really untouchable. There are some I'd definitely like to keep--Korczak, Lindbom, Brisson--but if it comes down to moving them for a piece that'll help the repeat, I'd say go for it.

Thanks for input
