So why are people listing half of Calgary's regular roster?
I get that bottom-6 grinders are always fan favorites, but Lance Bouma is no more a core piece in Calgary than Brian Bickell is in Chicago.

I think you could probably add a couple more players from each team and call them part of the "core". It's a pretty loose concept. There aren't any hard and fast rules or definitions. For example, I think it would be fair to say that for the past several seasons, Sharp was part of Chicago's core. In LA, I wouldn't hesitate calling guys like Brown and Muzzin part of the core.
