To me it’s about guys that aren’t playing for the organization now but could have an impact in the future. If Flames own their rights include them even if they’re 35, a la Makarov.
Let voters decide the likelihood of them ever playing as part of their ranking. It so happens that most of these players are young but I wouldn’t use age as a factor.
I’d look at the same way as the old Calder trophy rules. Games in the NHL was the only thing that disqualified you.
