If the players are productive, does the age matter? Perry has 5 goals, 7 pts in 19 games. That's an over 20 goal pace. I thought he would be a good addition but he's been better than I expected. For an older player, making under 1 mill, that's pretty productive in my opinion.

If you can still produce, then yeah age matters a lot less. The grind of playoffs could wear you down a lot faster. For sure though, I'll take former Hart and Cup winners for pennies if they can still play.
I don't mean to say having the oldest team by 0.1 years is a guarantee we're bad. Just that it's not too surprising considering years of poor drafting and a GM that likes the UFA pool over trying to make winning trades.
It's good we're getting Holland out of here before he starts tossing some Frans Nielsen/Darren Helm/Justin Abdelkader/Mike Green/Stephen Weiss type deals to bury us further into cap hell.
