They're not actually old
Stamkos just turned 34 (pending UFA)
Hedman just turned 33
Kucherov turns 31 this summer (so he can probably only lead the league in scoring for a few more years)
Everyone else is on the right side of 30 (Vasi turns 30 this summer). And their cap is in great shape.
They went to 3 straight finals in the last 4 years. Bouncing in rd 1 last year isn't really indicative of anything, nor is their coasting through this season
