Don’t say eye test when you mean points
If anything they got younger this year the moment Jumbo signed in TO. Dude... who's old on this team now? Burns (stud), Vlasic (ick) and Patty (4th liner)? Oh Dubnyk (jury's out). Other than that the next tier of "old" players are what 30 and 31? that ain't old, even in hockey. Most of the rest of the players are going to be 25 and younger. This team ain't old. They used to average like 30 years old, I bet it's closer to 29 next season and that's only because they have 41 year old on the team who's not all that important to the success of the team. Take out that one player and I bet it's more in the 27, 28 range.
Hockey players peak around ages 22-26. Most of our core is around or older than 30 which absolutely is old in hockey. This is absolutely an old team and that is true even if you take out Marleau.
You're being extremely overconfident in and frankly unreasonable about this team.
