Frankly I think that because of the nature of prospects and trades and free agent signings and the personalities involved the chances of a good 5 year prediction are equivalent to playing the stock market by using tarot cards.
I know it's just for fun, but I just don't see the point, as roster turnover is just too great.

If we look at today's roster, through a lens from 5 years ago, only 8 of the current players would have been knowable at the time.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Bennett - Jankowski - Lucic
Mangiapane - Ryan - Dube
Czarnik, Quine, Everyone else

Giordano - Brodie
Hanifin - Hamonic
Valimaki - Andersson
Kylington - Davidson
Valiev - Yelesin

Rittich - Talbot
Gillies - Parsons
Schneider - Zagidulin

That's 8 total in the organization, not just the 23 man roster.

But whatever - have at 'er.
