Who do you think on the Flames is in the learning phase that needs a teaching coach?
When you have 10+ players on the roster that are making big $$ long term deals it is pretty save to think that it is a veteran team. The Flames have a profile of a peaking team or even one post peak rather than a young team.

I'd say their four of their five best players are all young enough to be learning for the next three to five years.
You suggested average was how you came up with your summary, I pointed out that average age means pretty little when it comes to how "veteran" a hockey team is.
