Exactly. Average age of team means very little. It's average age of the main contributors....ie Crosby and Malkin. Both are already in pt production decline and it's not going to get any better. Both have also had serious injuries throughout their careers. I'm just saying that I don't think this team has many more legitimate shots at a cup, or we shouldn't be expecting it anyways. Maybe next year, but after that.....no. We have **** for prospects ready to hand the torches over to. When does this team pick in the first round again? 2020?
The point decline can be seen across the NHL because they have let obstruction back into the league. They both finished in the top 10 in scoring (as did Kessel). Both were basically a point per game player in the last 2 runs. Crosby is damn near 2ppg this year and a gimpy Malkin is still at 1ppg. You're overreacting to nothing.
