It's probably bad form to quote myself, but here's another wrinkle on those four roster changes:
Kuzmenko is 429 days younger than Lindholm.
Pachal is 1,736 days younger than DeSimone.
Pelletier is 666 days younger than Ruzicka.
Rooney is 1,866 days older than Dube.
Altogether, the Flames shaved about 2.6 years off their total team age, or about 41 days off their average age (based on a 23-man roster). To do that while also getting players that are better for those particular roles on the team is fairly impressive.
Not to mention picking up a 1st, a 4th, and two prospects along the way.
