I'm so excited that Calgary has a real good potential of having three guys that are calibre of being elites. Does any team have triplets that they build around? I know that many teams in the league have it built around duos.

Hawks I would argue have 3. Hossa is definitely part of the core even at his age. TB had a great trio back when the big 3 played up front.
However the main downfall of the Lightning after the '04 lockout was their lack of goaltending and defence once Boyle got traded. Brodie is a fantastic piece however. But we could use another young stud on the backend to compliment him. I think we are set in net for a while with both Ortio and Gillies who could potentially be considered core pieces.
