I always though in terms of elite (nearly untouchable), core (difficult to replace and/or great teammates), and hot prospect (too young for core, but trending that way if not elite). So I guess, by default, elite is also core but is hot prospect?
Elite: Gaudreau, Giordano, Brodie
Core: Monahan, Backlund, Hamilton, Frolik
Hot prospect: Bennett, Gillies, 2016 1st-round pick
