As for elite wingers (in no particular order, IMO of course):
Pastrnak
Panarin
Marchand
Kucherov
P Kane
Ovechkin
Stone
On the Bubble:
Marner
Huberdeau
Gaudreau
Laine
Tkachuk
Forsberg
Tarasenko
Rantanen
Hall
etc. etc. etc.
I'd find it hard to include any of these guys on the bubble without adding several others. I'd find it hard to call Hall elite without doing so for another 10 or so guys, too.
I think the list for Centres and D-men would be a bit longer, and rightly so because they are more important positions.

I don't understand why Stone would be considered elite but Gaudreau isn't.
