Hertl - 24

Pavelski- 34 (UFA)
Kane - 27
Lebanc - 22
That's their top 6 scoring forwards in order last season and their ages ranging from 74 to 56 points. Now they have two Norris contending elite offensive Dmen who are both younger than Gio.
I want them to suck as much or more than anyone, but I will believe it when I see it.

We used to say the same thing about the Ducks and it finally caught up to them as it will catch up to the Sharks. Father time always wins.
Always! Those forwards you listed are nice players but without Pavelski isn't going to scare anyone. It's all about Brent Burns as he goes the Sharks go, so their fate is tied to how many years left he can perform at elite levels. I imagine he's got at minimum two years left at his current levels but if he drops off they are in trouble.
