The Penguins has nobody of real substance over 30 on their two championship teams.
Caps had one guy over 30 who was pretty important (he was 31), everyone else in their 20’s.
Blues had nobody over 30 who was important
Tampa had one guy over 30 in their second championship run (31) and everyone else was in their 20’s
Colorado had one guy over 30 who was a contributor, but the key pieces were in their 20’s
Vegas was an outlier but in general, 20 somethings win Cups and guys over 30 collect cheques but are not really competitive anymore for the big prize.
