Coyotes
Stepan - Mediocre 2nd line center at best masquerading as a 1st line center
Kessel - Floater who is poor defensively, needs elite players to produce and doesn't have that in Arizona
Schmalz, Dvorak - Unproven guys which Chayka gave $$$ to in hopes they become legit
Keller - The lone bright spot, don't get too hyped about 47 points in 82 games
Soderberg - Got dumped by a real contender for scraps - nuff said |

The ducks have a few bright spots. But overall a pretty poopty forward core. Even with subtracting ugly. |

Hard to argue the Sens dont have the worst everything in the NHL.
Trying to understand how a team with McDavid and Draisaitl, despite the lack of depth, are worse off then a team whose top two players are Tkachuk and ....Anisimov? - systemtool
RNH would be their best forward. I’m not impressed by LAK or ANA forward cores either.
Oilers are a lazy but popular choice because they have had a lot of good fortune with high picks but they are still in the conversation for this due to horrible management. |

Reality is I would probably take RNH, McDavid and Draisaitl over some teams complete forward cores. Teams like the two you mentioned and Habs, Sens..maybe Yotes and Rangers. |

empircal data suggest otherwise. he never had elite players in toronto and was producing at a high rate offensively. obviously you will put up more points playing with malkin than with bozak but from the 11/12 season to 13/14 season he was pretty much a ppg player playing on a line with 2nd and 3rd line players (jvr and bozak).
he is definitely a poor defender though. |

Pretty much this
It may not be the worst or even bottom few. Especially considering that Connor and Leon alone give them a head start on virtually every team.
But the real point is that after all those picks, and while having the best player in the world, it’s embarrassing and a joke that they’re even somewhere in the conversation.
I don’t like to wish Ill on people. But wow chiarelli was awful. Fuk him. I will never ever listen to appeal to authority bs again after witnessing the debacle he had in edm. You could have actively wanted to hurt the oilers and not done a much worse job |

Ottawa is the only choice here, guys. Edmonton is close to the bottom but Ottawa's is as bad as it gets. I'd also list Minnesota, Detroit and even Columbus before Edmonton. Depth isn't all there is to a forward corps. |

You clowns do realize when you're talking about a group, it's corps, and not core, right?
Overall, the Edmonton forward corps might be bad, but you can't say the the core of McDavid, Draisaitl, and Nugent-Hopkins isn't good.
But hey... don't let the Queen's English get in the way of a good bashing. |

He was 24-27 - Now he's 32
Kessel is not the kinda guy who will age like Wine |

They’re talking about the core of the team you dimwit. You know? Main pieces. |

Ottawa has no one on their radar projecting to be anywhere near McDavid or Draisatl

Trading kessel just completely closed the Penguins Stanley cup window. Only chance they have now of winning another cup in the Crosby era is if they start rebuilding right now maybe they can build a team back up by his final season. |

When you only have three forwards that other teams would want that’s a pretty weak core. |

How is it possible that Chiarelli managed to get that job after that seguin trade fiasco being released and then holding onto it through the hall/larsson, Eberle/strome, reinhart/barzal trades. I swear when making trades he's pulls up the players scouting report from their draft year and goes off that. |

Your point is rather weak considering one of those 3 happens to be the best player in the world. |

Are you honestly trying to tell us you think there's 20 - 25 other teams out there with a better group of core forwards to build around than McDavid, Draisaitl, and Nugent-Hopkins? |
