Monahan, Gaudreau, Bouma, Giordano and Brodie.

A top 6 center and scoring winger. A heart and soul 3rd line guy with enough utility to move up when needed. A veteran captain and defenseman at the top of his game, and his heir apparent.

I was really close to picking Bennett, and while I think he will be a future core player and is practically untouchable, I have a hard time calling a player with zero NHL game part of the current core. Same thing with Poirier.

Bennett, Ortio and Poirier will be future core IMO, but too early to anoint them.
