Meier is 29. Hischier and Bratt are 27. Even Hughes and Mercer are 24. They should be fully in their competitive window by now. I don't think we can say it's a failed rebuild yet, but it's heading in that direction a this point.

They were first in the Met when Hughes stabbed himself. Were out of the playoffs by the time he came back. Never recovered.
