Not sure why "30" has become such a thing among fans. There are tons of players who are key guys on teams who are past the best before date that fans have created.

Most players do not hit their best play until spending several years in the NHL. Obviously there are exceptions as with anything.


Just look at Vegas as an example

Stephenson
Marschessault
Stone
Pietrangelo
Karlsson
Smith
Theodore
Martinez


All 27 or older, and many post "30".
This year, yes.

A year removed from Colorado though with their 3 top players all under 27, and only Kadri really in the 30+ category from their core contributors.
