OTOOOH, there are a few players that may hit the age curve as soon as this season.
OTOOOOH, there are few ageless wonders on the team that seem to out play the age curve each season.
In all seriousness, I appreciate attempts to put numbers onto something as dynamic and difficult to measure as hockey. However, these "models" include a lot more qualitative judgments than the authors advertise, in my opinion.
