2017/18 CORE
Gaudreau - Monahan - ???????

That's an awesome core to build around and a team that is built the right way.
Strong goaltending
Strong top end D
Strong down the middle
Should be no problem filling out that roster properly, even with Stajan/Bouma eating up $5 + million as the 4th line "pairing".

Same sort of high level talent.
Filling in the 2017-18 ???? with Tkachuk that leaves 6 holes in both line-ups .... Probably the same or less relative cap space for ???? in 2017-18 That was the start of the no playoffs in 6 year run.
