I said now and in our plans going forward. Yes, I include Laf and Kakko. As well as Schneider, Chytil and others. They are all legit NHLers and all in our plans his year and beyond. You arbitrarily set a bar of just about all star in order for a player to be part of the core. I don’t. That doesn’t make me incorrect. It makes our takes different. I guess a team with no one at all star level has zero core? That’s not how I look at it. And since I’ve already explained several times what I meant, I’m not sure why you are hell bent on trying to impose your arbitrary definition of “core” on my point. It’s like you are trying to have a semantics argument over core, and I’m trying to talk about why the average age of our team shot up. And no it’s not just that everyone on the team, and in the league, got a year older, it’s because we added cheap older vets that arent going to be part of a longer trend. Who cares if we are average of two years older this year(to pick a number) if next year we are two years younger? Are Zibs, Kreider and Pan falling off a cliff this year?
