Iginla scored 30 goals the next year for Boston, and then 29 and 22 for Colorado. Cami was 30 and scored 27 goals a couple years later for the devils. Tanguay was 32 and scored 22 for Colorado 2 years later.
Hudler was 28, Stempniak 29, Glencross 29, Jaybo 28, Wideman 29, etc. All of these guys had years left.
I’m not talking big time success expectations. I’m talking less success than Greg Gilbert, in 01-02, who had Iginla, Conroy, 2/3 of Marc Savard and really no one else. Not even an old Kipper - he had Turek.
