Which players are our CORE???

[waitin425]

Pick as many players as you like. Who are our long term CORE pieces that you want to retain long term or do not want to trade away? I've included a few prospects in there as well as an "other" selection.

If you think any other player is a CORE piece, please explain why in the comments.

Suzuki
Caufield
Slaf
Hutson
Guhle
Demidov (our only “sure shot” prospect imo)

Too early to tell for guys like Hage, Reinbacher, Dobes and Fowler but hopefully they become core players (potential 2C, top 4 RD and 1G).

For Dach and Laine, next season will probably be their last shot to prove themselves. I have my doubts they will be on this team long term.

Core untouchables?

Suzuki
Caufield

...

Hutson
Guhle


That's it.

Suzuki
Caufield
Hutson
Guhle

Slaf seems to be borderline at this point and I'm personally not going to count prospects as core until they prove themselves in the NHL to some degree.

Suzy, Cole, Slaf, Demi, Hutson, Guhle....that's it at the moment and there are no untouchables imo.

Some players I would consider part of the core going forward but I wouldn't consider them all "untouchables".

For our core, I'd include Suzuki, Caufield, Slaf, Demidov, Guhle, Reinbacher and Hutson.

For untouchables I'd only have Suzuki, Caufield, Demi and Hutson.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Active core:

Suzuki
Caufield
Slafkovsky
Hutson
Guhle

Potential core:
Demidov (Lock, IMO)
Reinbacher
Hage
Fowler

The only untouchables for me are Suzuki, Caufield, Hutson and Demidov.

I had initially left off Reinbacher because we hadn't seen him but realized I'd voted for Demidov. I think both will be core players. Suzuki, CC, Slaf, Demidov, Hutson, Ghule, Reinbacher.

I might add Hage and Fowler down the line but need to see more of them.

I think Dach is with us long haul but isn't necessarily what I'd call 'core.'
