The Oilers average age according to cap friendly
23 man roster ( assuming bear gets signed)
average age
27.7
15 forwards
average age
27.1
6 D Men ( assuming bear gets signed)
average age
26.8
2 Goaltenders
average age
35
EDIT: upon further inspection, the average age is not much higher than the rest of the league. What is remarkable, is the number of forwards over the age of 30. As it stands right now the Oilers will skate 4 forwards over the age of 30. The only other teams with more are Washington and Anaheim with 5 and Detroit/ Islanders with 6!.
