Usually, there is a lot of turnover on rebuilding teams.

Also of note, we just had a GM change, and they usually like to bring in their own players, and the only one on this list acquired by the current GM is Shore.

That being said, these guys are young enough to still be a factor when/if this team turns the corner.

They are also a decent sized part of the culture being built right now. The never quit, work-your-butt-off culture that needs to be nurtured going forward.

So, which ones do you think/hope Treliving keeps as part of the core of what will hopefully become a Cup contending team?

1. C - Mikael Backlund - 25 -> 282 NHL games, 0.43 career PPG, 18:16 TOI this season
2. C/W - Lance Bouma - 25 -> 185 NHL games, 0.24 career PPG, 13:53 TOI this season
3. C/W - Joe Colborne - 25 -> 144 NHL games, 0.41 career PPG, 15:18 TOI this season
4. W - Paul Byron - 25 -> 137 NHL games, 0.34 career PPG, 14:30 TOI this season
5. C/W - Josh Jooris - 24 -> 49 NHL games, 0.41 career PPG, 14:48 TOI this season
6. C/W - Drew Shore - 24 -> 72 NHL games, 0.29 career PPG, 11:03 TOI this season

Maybe a POLL?

Personally, I can see the usefulness of every single one of them, but if the Flames do win a Cup in the next few years, I highly doubt all of them are a part of it.

Funnily enough, all of them but Backlund are RFA's this off season.
