I suppose it's all about how you define "core".

For me, our core is:

Dahlin

That's it. That's the list. Dahlin is the ONE player you build around. I could entertain the idea of Benson maybe possibly being a core forward just based on his Marchand-esque potential. I could entertain the idea of Tage being a core forward because of his scoring ability and that insanely good contract.

But everyone else is moveable and fungible.

 

[Chainshot]

Yeah - Dahlin. That's it.

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

Pretty much just Dahlin but it'd most likely be counter productive to trade Tage too as he's the only offensive game breaker we have at forward.

Outside of that although they aren't untouchable for a hockey trade that makes us better, Tuch, Benson, McCloud and Greenway are guys I could see playing important roles on a playoff team. Hopefully it's with us.

 

[Mattilaus]

I will say only Dahlin with the caveat that I really wouldn't want to move Tage.

What are the tiers? Is it like EHM where it's Key, Core, Regulars? Then our core is Tage, Tuch, UPL, and maybe JJP. Too early to say on Norris. Key is Dahlin.

Respectfully disagree on UPL, even Tuch. Dahlin is it.

 

[slip]

Easy.

Dahlin.

 

[toddkaz]

Fingers crossed it turns into Dahlin, Benson and Kulich.

I think for now Dahlin, Tage is debatable. I don't think he would be traded.

 

[Ace]

Terry Pegula and Kevyn Adams

 

[jc17]

It's core, not untouchable

Dahlin, tage, tuch

 

[HaNotsri]

Dahlin and Thompson since he'd be hard to replace.

 

[JLewyB]

Dahlin and Thompson

 

[allsilverdreams]

This is probably the saddest state we have been in.
2 players as core players

 

[Ehran]

Not "core" but Benson should be one of the last players traded.

 

[Tatanka]

Dahlin…everyone else is expendable
