You totally ignored his point and just listed players 30 years and older without understanding why you were listing them. You proved his point.

The reason their vets mostly have 1 or 2 years remaining, or are UFAs, is because CHI has been rebuilding longer, and the vet contracts are coming due.
But they have not been reluctant to have vets on the team, and next year they will have the same problem people are suggesting the Flames will have if they trade their vets, CHI is $30M shy of the floor for 26/27 with 5 forwards and 2 D t sign.
In other words, they are going to have to sign a bunch more vets.
