According to some, this team is old and needs to be rebuild
.
Hard to pin point the age as we have so many injuries. I do think our age 25 and under core is lacking multiple pieces that we need to compete but we have quantity. It's taken years to recover from those terrible 4 years of drafting from 2008-2011. We have a ways to go yet but it's taking shape... if you can separate yourself from this seasons lack of success and look at the demographics of our roster age 25 and under.
Believe it or not but I do believe we are younger than the Leafs or we are very close to it. Our oldest asset is Weber at age 32.
