What players here now, do you think will still be here in 3 years?? Multiple choices are allowed

It's so unpredictable, I voted Markov because I believe he still has 5 years in him. But other than him, I won't even guess Eller or Plecks out there. We only need 1 ****** season the blow up the entire team.
What players do you feel will still be here in 3 years??
This is only true if an HFBoards member was running the team. Even in a trash season I can't see MB moving guys like Eller.
Three years from today, thus Nov 24 2016, I predict that we will have the following 12 players still with the team (from the current 24-man roster, including IR):
On existing contracts
Pacioretty
Desharnais
Gorges
Emelin
Price
RFAs that will be resigned
Galchenyuk
Gallagher
Bournival
Potential UFAs by that date, but that will be re-signed early
Eller
Subban
UFAs to be re-signed
Plekanec
Markov
I also predict that we will have the following 12 players not with the team
UFAs that will walk or be traded before walking:
Gionta
Briere
Bourque
Prust
Moen
White
Parros
Murray
Bouillon
Drewiske
Budaj
Player that will be traded while under (new) contract:
Diaz
The following players who have played at least 1 NHL game will still be with the team:
Holland
Tinordi
Beaulieu
The following players with some Habs experience will no longer be with the organization:
Dumont
Blunden
Leblanc
St. Pierre
Pateryn
3 years from now (lots of ??...!!, but very important imo to keep all three centers in Pleks, Galchenyuk, and Eller...for a CUP run):
Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Gallagher
Hudon?/Bournival - Plekanec/Eller - UFA?/trade?
Bournival/Hudon? - Eller/Plekanec - McCarron??
Crisp?? - White - Prust?
Tinordi - PK Subban
Markov????/UFA?/trade? - Emelin
Beaulieu?? - Gorges?
OR
Emelin-Diaz?? (Diaz stays, maybe Markov is traded for 1st+solid young dman?).
Beaulieu-Gorges
Price
Budaj?
Fucale
