What has happened in the past is irrelevant.
1) Agreed.

2) Younger is no guarantee of future success.

Boston has more guys that are young and in the PRIME of their careers as well. Like a Vezina nominated goalie which is something Calgary can't boast.

Hayes will be free agent age long before those Boston guys will be out of their primes and can chose any team he wishes yet again. Assuming he has that long of a career....
