Why would we even want a 25 year old star player - I don’t care how good they are, we don’t have any OTHER star players, and we’d be in the same boat we are now.

Zary and Wolf (and debatably Pelletier and Coronato) are the first wave of new young talent, but they’re nowhere near enough.

25 year old players, if they open a window at all, would only do it for 4-6 years.

Make 12 selections in the top-40 over the next three years and you give yourself (hopefully) a decade or more of relevance.
