The core are the players who you absolutely do not want to trade and believe that complementary pieces/assets should be sought after.
They are the foundation of your team that you build around. Ideally it’s spread between O, D and G but not necessarily.
I also don’t think they always have to be your best 2-5 players but usually are. There should also be some contract certainty. A player on a 1 or 2 year deal is rarely part of the core unless RFA.
