Our captain is 33 years old, our second line center is 27, and frankly Brodie at 26 means he should be at his prime and not considered a young guy. Like I have said before, teams have won the cup with young players before. These guys aren't playing their first year in the league anymore. Time to put the pressure on them to win and management needs to make sure that the right support players are put into place.
What are we waiting for? Bennett to turn 25? ... 5 more years from now before we put on the pressure?
