You can't put enough window dressing to get around the fact that they're old.

It means that returns are likely to diminish beyond the short term, and a number of players down the line up are in that age range where regression is typically expected.

Once the regression becomes evident, that can be a long and painful death, especially if you're locked into several big contracts long term.

Right now it looks great and every one in their ketchup stained sweatpants is doing cartwheels, but it's unlikely to be sunshine and rainbows beyond a couple of seasons.

Oilers are strictly a "now" team. And yet, I have a hard time seeing the seas part again for them to return to the SCF and get another kick at the can. At least not back to back.
