Maybe they’re options as a building block to help kick-start a rebuild.

With that in mind, I quickly assembled my All-RFA Team. And outside of spotty defensemen, it looks awesome.

Centers

Derek Stepan – Two deep playoff runs of experience and two-way acumen. 

Evgeny Kuznetsov – Emerging offensive force entering his prime.

Nazem Kadri – Made huge strides defensively and could have more offensive upside.

Mikael Granlund – While undersized, perfectly comfortable in a top-six role.

Mika Zibanejad – His full breakout nears and posted 17 points over 20 games as a teaser.

Wingers

Vladimir Tarasenko – Future Rocket Richard winner with an elite shooting arsenal.

Mark Stone – A top-tier scorer from November 1 through the end of the season.

Brandon Saad – He already has over 50 goals and 50 playoff games in the league.

Gustav Nyquist – 55 goals over the past two seasons, and he may not have hit his peak.

Tyler Toffoli – Already a plus-49 for his career, and has only played one full season.

Colin Wilson – Does his true full-season breakout happen next year?

Jakob Silfverberg – A gifted shooter with two-way smarts.

Marcus Johansson – The poor man’s Nicklas Backstrom skates well and can defend.

Craig Smith – Consecutive 20-goal seasons with 466 total shots.

Jonathan Huberdeau – 50 helpers in 2015-16 shouldn’t shock anyone.

Defensemen

Dougie Hamilton – Entering his age-22 season, stardom and 50-plus points are near.

Michael Del Zotto – Scored 22 points over a 28-game stretch to return to the fantasy map.

Adam Larsson – Over the final 43 games, he posted 20 points and 23:06 minutes per.

Justin Schultz – Bet his numbers would look a lot better with this group than Edmonton.

Thomas Hickey – His skating will keep him in the real game, but aim higher in the fake.

Ian Cole – Doesn’t tip the fantasy scale significantly, but he’ll be around for a long time.

Ben Chiarot – A real-time stat sleeper, he paired nicely with Dustin Byfuglien

Nathan Beaulieu – Projects to be a solid low-end fantasy option sooner than later.

Goalies

Braden Holtby – A top-five goaltender entering 2015-16.

Jonathan Bernier – Depending on your format, he returns all kinds of saves.

Jake Allen – The future No. 1 goalie on a perennial playoff team.

Did I miss anyone?

Seriously, how good is that team, though, right?

I’ve crunched some numbers, and I should turn a profit from my playoff pools. It is amazing, really, because I was heavily invested in the St. Louis Blues.

Still, in my deep 22-team pool, Derek Stepan, Victor Hedman and Alex Killorn have given me a sniff of the payouts, and I’ll cash if Tampa Bay advances.

However, in another pool, the Rangers advancing and facing the Anaheim Ducks should secure a first place finish, and a few dollars more.

With that said, it could all go up in smoke. Although, I’ve only calculated how I could win, because before the offensive outburst in the Rangers-Lightning series, I had already concluded losses across the board.

I’ll keep you posted. I loved the Ducks all season, and why I didn’t pounce on them more frequently over St. Louis, I’ll never know.

I’m going to blame @SlimCliffy for always telling me the Ducks aren’t very good.
