Not quite:
Ramo was 27-29 yrs old while he was here. He was also considered the top goalie outside the NHL at the time.
Berra was 26 and coming off a Euro league championship the year he was here.
Ortio was just 22 and considered a good enough prospect that management didn't want to lose him on waivers.
3 guys under 30 - 2 of which probably needed a little more time at the time.
Yes, they are all out of the league now. Will we be saying the same things about Gillies & Parsons if they don't pan out and are out of the league in 2 years?
