Maybe it's just me, but outside of Laine Winnipeg's core is a whole lot of meh to me. I think it's totally overrated.
Toronto, on the other hand, now THAT is one excellent looking young core. They could use an extra defenseman though.
As far as the Flames go, I'd say they're closer to the top than the bottom. Edmonton is probably up there too because of McDavid but their lack of defense is concerning. I don't know if I can rank them because they all have their positives and negatives, and that would take too long. Bottom line is the Flames have a pretty good young core that hopefully management can surround with a great supporting cast. They'll be a good team soon.
