That is a lot of 30+ers!

I see... I think its not really fair to compare it that way due to some odd inclusions (i.e. Ivanans, never here; or overlap players). I bet if you take the sample of 2012, it won't improve at all; at the end of 2013, you take a sample and it also won't improve because you are including 30+ year old players over 2 seasons. The metric is just too inconsistent.
To be fair, take the starting roster of 2011 and measure against 2013 and I think comparisons will be fair. There are still a lot of older players on this team, though I am glad we have Brodie and (had) Horak and Sven on this roster.
