The Islanders are younger then the Flames, by about two weeks?
The Islanders have John Tavares, an amazing piece but in terms of young players beyond him it's a whole lot of yawn. If the Flames pull the trigger on some dead weight vets at the trade deadline you'll see the Flames average age (12th in the NHL) drop quite a bit. Hopefully the Flames can stay below the Islanders this season and draft another highly skilled player.
I don't give credit for teams figuring it out and getting better until they actually do.

Fair enough...how about we compare the age and talent of the top 4 D and top 6 Forwards?
Those are usually the players who decide future contenders. Right?
