Re: Jets - Just looked at their roster. 15 players are 25 years of age or less. We are certainly not the only team with good young roster despite what we espouse at times. There's quite a few of them actually.
There are. But the jets best players are 31 and 25. There top d is 33 and they sucked last year. There is a world of difference between 25 and 20. And they have had years of failure before. People have short memories
Laine - 19
Trouba - 24
Ehlers - 22
Hellebuyck - 24
Scheifele - 25
Connor - 21
That's a really good young core. I think I'll stick with the original point I made because its valid. The biggest difference between the Jets this year and last is goaltending.
It is. We aren’t the only team with good young players. There is a dramatic difference between a team being led by 20 year olds and a team with talented 20 year olds supporting them. Winnipeg is the best counterpart to Toronto but still not close in terms of young core leading the charge
You can say (spin) Winnipeg young core is just "supporting" the two old guys you are referring to (one of which is Scheifele presumably who is just 25), but I think that they are doing way more than just supporting their two good old guys. Is Andersen just supporting our vital, good, young guys, or is he a necessary piece? He is 28 btw. LOL.
