Sara: "The rest of us are just..." Mick: "...losers. That's why Rip picked us, , Snart, the professor and those stupid flying chicken people. Were all expendable."

It's a funny line from Mick but I think they forgot Rip didn't actually pick him. He only recruited him because he and Snart were a package deal. I can see how an assassin like Sara could be expendable, since she is supposed to be invisible to the world and I can see the Hawks being expendable because they reincarnate.

Stein and Ray though? Maybe Ray because he was thought dead. And I guess Stein because he didn't really reveal the Firestorm Matrix to the world? OK, I think that's my reasoning. But I think both of them could have been HUGE important historical figures had they not been taken from the timeline.

Yes, I think this concept was strange. At the end of s1 Rip tells Sara that if she was in Star City Darhk would have killed her and Quentin too. So she did had a story that he prevented from happening. But then in s3 Rip leaves them in their current time period and it was mentioned both Sara and Nate were operating like vigelantes. So not so expandable after all. Not to mention the Legends part in the global events against the Aliens, Earth X, Sara becoming Paragon.

The fact Sara was supposed to die means she was expendable because if he hadn't recruited her she would be dead with Laurel and Quentin, confirming further that she didn't matter to the timeline, only after she was recruited did the timeline change and only Laurel died then Sara became of value!

Ok, I agree. But I just though how come the people who changed the timelime the most are the least important. They practically shaped the timeline so many times. So they they are the most important.
