Maybe but you look at the Jets they have two 31 year old stars starting the 1st year of their 7 year deals.
De Melo is 31 beginning the first year of a 4 year deal.
Morrissey is 29 with 4 years left, and you would think more in the tank.
Nino is 32 with 3 years left.
It will be interesting what kind of contracts Lowry and Namestnikov would re-sign in that 32,33 year old range.
I think it's chemistry with the Preds. Though the Stamkos and Marchessault contracts could easily age out as buyouts after the Johansen retention trade, Turris and Duchene buyouts.
