No, that's the age at which players can receive performance bonuses.

The only players who can sign a contract with performance bonuses are entry-level players and players over 35 who are signing a one-year contract.

The only other exception are NHL veterans who were on the IR for more than 100 days in the final year of their previous contract, and again, they can only get performance bonuses if they sign a one-year deal.
