Since there is another decent break in the season, and with a few rumors floating around about personnel moves, I thought it would be a good idea to discuss this phrase "part of the core"
1) What constitutes the core of a contending team?
Allowing for some flexibility, clearly 23 players cannot be part of the core, so what is/should be the goal for a team when establishing a core?
2) Who should currently be considered part of the core of the Avs moving forward?
Seems there is some varying views here since at times players like McGinn, Downie, Barrie, and even McLeod have been mentioned in that group in various discussions by some while also being seen as complimentary pieces by others.
3) What would you like to see the Avs do to solidify or improve the core for the next 4-6 years?
