Lets compare top 6 fwd for age:
Iginla -35
Tanguay - 33
Glencross - 30
Hudler -29
Cammalleri - 30
Stempniak -30
possible swap Backlund as 7th -23
possible swap Stajan as 7th - 30
Lets take a top 6 forward for the 2011 starting lineup:
Iginla -33
Tanguay - 31
Glencross - 28
Bourque - 30
Stajan - 28
Stempniak -28
Obviously 4/6 players are the same, and 2 years younger... so its a swap out of Cammalleri (30) for Bourque (30), and Hudler (29) for Stajan (28). At a glance, we are actually older.
Arguable case for Backlund as the young guy
Forwards... the obvious "get younger" move is Brodie in the top 4, Regehr out. Past that? Gio and Bouw are the same (2 years older), and Wideman (29?) in for (Ian White?) which is a swap.
Again..... very similar.
