For all those citing St. Louis - I would argue his rise to prominince has just as much to do with six pro seasons (and another four at college) prior to his arrival in Tampa as it has to a change of surroundings. It was really only last season that everyone started to sit up and take notice. Lets not forget that St. Louis is 29, but if Washington can wait 10 years and not lose patience with him then good for them.
Although the Caps can probably show some patience with Bourque, there is also extra competition in the Caps organisation so it isn't all positive.
