Let's talk 'Core'
Mostly because I'm tired of seeing the rumours thread derailed into a multitude of derailments, let's have a discussion about 'Core' group players.
What's the definition of a 'core' group?
What are some examples of it from successful and unsuccessful team?
Let's apply those answers to the Calgary Flames. CliffFletcher is not allowed to shake his fist while mumbling to himself about how the definition of a franchise player has changed. This isn't the discussion for that, so take it elsewhere.
'Core Player' as defined by Flash Walken is a player who likely has few peers in the league, has demonstrated value specifically to the Flames Organization and who has specific characteristics that can't be easily replaced in the trade market or free agency.
Based on that, Flash Walken's core looks like this:
Gaudreau
Brodie
Bennett
Thoughts?
