The thing about the Flames defense group as it stands today though is, the only Vet now is Weegar, Andersson and I guess Kylington?? And they're all young enough to grow into the new regime or be traded for more assistance.
The rest of the hopefully are just entering their full time careers and Conroy made sure he has anough of them to increase the odds that a couple of them stick.
I'd also add we haven't even the the prized Defensive acquisitions play yet in Grushnikov and Bruce. Their training camps will dictate a lot of where the defense will go in the next few seasons.
Long an short of it, this isn't an aging D corps and you're building it up on the correct side of things. This isn't a group of old men earning their final paydays, and that's a good thing.
