from Luke Fox of Sportsnet,

For fun, we analyzed each team to pinpoint the most difficult player for them to move. We excluded AHLers and those hidden on long-term injured reserve (the Chris Prongers and Dave Bollands of the world) and focused on roster guys. (Note: This does not mean the team wants to trade the player, though certainly that is the case with several on this list.)

No one is untradeable, of course. Just ask Wayne Gretzky or David Clarkson. Hey, perhaps some of these guys could be traded for each other.

Based on their performance and their contract, these are the NHL's hardest to trade players. Anchors aweigh.

Kevin Bieksa

Two even-strength points, 39 minutes in penalties and a minus-5 rating is not cutting it for a top-four defenceman. That Bieksa is already 35 years old, signed through 2017-18 at $4-million per season and holds a no-movement clause only makes a trade less likely. Fun guy, though — and a helluva shovel boy.
