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.
This is flawed too..

I don't think anyone had Stempniak as a top 6 to start the season (arguably Glencross either)

Very subjective, and I could change out a couple players and make the numbers look very different

Edit: weren't Morrison and Jokinen the top 2 Cs to start the year in 2011?
