How old were Robertson and Heiskanen when they played the Flames a few seasons ago?
Robertson had 79 points as a 22 year old
Oettinger was 22 and almost stole a series
Heiskanen was also 22 and had 35 points. The following season he had 70+
Heck, those guys are still not even in their mid 20s and Dallas has been a consistent contender.
I think there is plenty of reason to think core players in their early twenties can start to make significant impact. Look at when Chicago won their cups and LA.. and even Pittsburgh early on. How old were all those core players when their teams became serious contenders..

Makes it even more hilarious that Edmonton keeps getting older, and their top players are pushing 30.
