^^ I'm not sure that's necessarily true. The 04 team had a lot of young talent, even through the core.
Iginla - 26
Regehr - 24
Leopold - 24
Lombardi - 22
Saprykin - 23
Kobasew - 22
Average age of the team was 27. And that had guys like Lowry, Conroy, Gelinas, and Turek throwing off the age curve. And even those guys were early-mid 30's.
