Average is a bad measurement here, median would be much more interesting to see.

Old and American, no wonder we suck

Oh noes, not enough Canadians on the roster, whatever will we do.
Edit: I guess there are a lot of “NEED MOAR GOOD OLD CANADIAN BOIZ” people in here. My apologies for offending your sensibilities.
(definitely still /s for those who need the label)

We never got any good draft picks no matter how bad we were. Top level Canadian talent is all known from when they’re little kids. Any hopes of us drafting players with major impact outside of the top five will necessitate Europeans.

But but we have all these amazing kids waiting in the wings….
…….yet we never give them a shot and are just floundering in mediocrity.

We need more good old ontario boys on this team if we’re gonna contend /s

A team coming out of a rebuild as old as that SMH

Makes sense. The wings are waiting for the draft picks to start forcing their way onto the team. Thats why theres so many older guys with shorter contracts on the books.
There’s no reason to be signing top dollar, prime of their career players at the moment. There will be a point in the next year or two when critical mass is reached with all the young guys developing, and the team will switch gears into a sustainable juggernaut.

Our average age is below 30? Shiiiit, you had me worried, partner. I saw the title and was expecting worse. 15 years ago, Chelios dragged the rest of rosters average up so we were consistently the oldest team in the NHL. Larkin ain’t even 30 yet, and Seider and Raymond both just got their first pubes.

Yzerman is just Holland 2.0 at this point.

This age thing is so overstated. It’s an average of 6 months between 6th oldest and 13th oldest. So if instead of Talbot we had a 27 year old we’d be 12th. It’s literally that.
