The team struggled in the playoffs. I put that on Peters' being a rookie and not adjusting fast enough.
I consider Valimaki and Andersson as part of the core too. So that's 3 top 4 defensemen acquired by Treliving for the core. Most GMs can't even acquire 1 young top 4 defensemen for their core. Tkachuk and Lindholm are both big core pieces.
5 of 8 "core pieces" were acquired by Tre.
Tkachuk
Lindholm
Hanifin
Valimaki
Andersson
Gio
Gaudreau
Monahan
Make up the rest of the core. Tre also got all 3 of those guys on ridiculous long term cap friendly contracts.
