We're not in that kind of company. Those teams are largely old because their cores have proven they can win together.
Pittsburgh has three Cups and a cup finals appearance.
Washington has a Cup.
Boston has a Cup and two more Cuo Finals appearance
Tampa has a pair of cupsa a couple more Cup finals appearances, and even more conference finals on top of that.
Carolina has a couple of conference finals as well, and has a young star-studded actual core (Aho, Necas, Svechnikov) surrounded by vets at more secondary positions. And even then, they don't have major long term commitments to their older guys, they can probably retool in a couple years and replace the Brent Burns types with younger pieces
