			Looks like 9 of the 18 skaters on opening night will be 30+.  I wonder how the average age of that roster will compare. 
 
No shortage of vets on this team.  It’s another year or two before it truly becomes a young team.

That's expected of a rebuilding team. A lot of young guns with a stable of solid veterans.

			A bit redundant but it's fine.  
 
Barrie + Kuzmenko on the PP this year should guarantee we don't see the same embarrassing output rate as last year.

			I like it.  He still has the ability to get the puck up ice to the forwards.  I don't care if he is suspect defensively.  I'd rather some of the forwards have offensive output, which he should help with.
