Yeah, they are. But I was playing off Patrick's initial question and just went with it.
It doesn't really change my stance on Toews. 34/5 is pretty much the same for most people, in my mind.

It's pretty much Nik's list. I tried to find alternatives, but there really aren't many in this age range to anoint as franchise players @ $10M. I might slot Eichel in over Taveres, but I really don't know enough about him.
Basically I went with Centers who could do everything (including score), and very mobile defensemen with hockey smarts. Skills and talents with some longevity to them that aren't solely dependent on the physical side of the game.
Either way, I wouldn't trade for Stamkos at this point, nor would I sign a 10M+ contract for him unless it was 5 years or less.
