Question Which of These Would You Choose?

Thought this would be an interesting thought experiment... let's hear what you think.

Which one of these trios of under-30 forwards you would choose if you could handpick one to build a franchise around?

Call me a homer but I chose the Calgary trio. While McDavid may have the highest talent & upside of anyone on the list, I believe the Calgary trio has the best overall upside as a unit.

This isn't a fair question though...do the canucks have 3 players under 30 on their team?

Is there supposed to be a list here for us to see?

Was there supposed to be a link or something? No parameters given otherwise, so I pick a trio of Gaudreau, McDavid and Tarasenko. ��

C'mon guys - it must be actual lines that existed.

So Lemieux, Gretzky and Hawerchuk (1987).

That's a really odd selection in the pool. Veterans like Toews and Kane (who don't play together much), a weird split of the Oilers, guys like Benn and Seguin

If Hall or RNH were included in the first Edmonton trio I'd probably take that one, but Yakupov sucks.

For me, all things considered (age, contract, position) it's either Colorado or Calgary.
