Totally agree.

In the case of Makarov, I think part of the annoyance wasn't so much his age, but that he came over to the NHL as an established player in Russia and a reputation as one of the best players in the world already. I guess making an age limit is a more tangible way of controlling that, but isn't perfect either.
