I would move it to 32 years old. Continually moving out players that are going for their third contracts and bringing in younger players, prospects, and picks. You would have to have a good scouting staff to make it work to an excellent level. In a lot of ways like the junior hockey models but with an extended life cycle.

Once word gets around that is the Flames policy you’d have a pretty hard time attracting players to come year. Or resign here. You’re never going to build a full team through the draft. You are always going to need free agents or players acquired via trade.
