Yep, seemed pretty clear to me. If you're mentioning Vegas in relation to Calgary, like so many have since the Cup win, them it's obvious you're making a comparison. If you're just saying "yes, a team with some 30+ players can win a Cup, then yes....they can.

The nuance obviously being where they're at in their contender build, and which players are 30+ and how far into their contracts are they.

"A team can win a cup with players in their 30's" is utterly meaningless without nuance. I mean looking at that simple question - How many teams have won a cup without players in their 30's?
