I remember last year Terry Jones of the Edmonton Sun wrote an article about how the Oilers farm team was winning and it was a sign of the Oilers turning the corner.
I tweeted back that the average age of the top 8 guys in ice time was 28.5 and that it wasn't really a team developing anything at all.
He didn't respond.
