Based on NHL.com's figures for opening-day rosters, the Flames have an average age of 28.5. They are tied with the Rangers for the 11th oldest roster in the league.
Los Angeles, Tampa Bay, Colorado, Dallas, the Islanders, Washington, Minnesota, Seattle, Carolina, and Pittsburgh are all older.
The league mean is 28.1, with a median of 28.25.
This isn't an ancient roster.
Now, if Trevor Lewis (36), Milan Lucic (34), Michael Stone (32), and Tyler Toffoli (30) were still on the roster, you might have a case. As it is, I think you've carried over your impression of the team's age from last year.
