I mean where would they go? Quebec City isn’t happening and no US city at the moment is really close to anything
Québec city is always a possibility, they have an NHL ready arena.

Ok, granted the Pens probably still have a couple good years left. But I'll put it in my calendar for, let's say 2023 - tell Cellee on HF "I told you so" about the Pens going into a full-scale long-term rebuild.
If you asked this question back in the 2014, you'd be getting the same answers. SJ knows how to keep a good team going.
When Crosby and Malkin retire in the next 5 years it's not gonna be pretty.
coyotes, sens, wild, kings
Burns is already on the wrong side of 30, Karlsson will be 30 next year but seems to have regressed a little bit and the long term outlook of his contract does not look great.
Meier is the only one of their forwards under 30 that you could build a team around, the other guys are good players but nothing special.

SJ atleast has a few good young players like Couture Meier etc, but that Karlsson contract at his age is rough.
Ottawa as usual, don't see them lasting too long in Ottawa either at this pace, unfortunately.
If you think a team.will still be good for the next few years but worry about the age of a few players, you may want to rethink your position. Rarely do well run organizations stay stagnate.
I disagree but who knows for sureCoyotes are up and coming. You must have added them in there by habit.
Btw, the Hawks are only going to be bad for a year or two more at most because they already have a young core in the organization and a top 10 farm system. They need a shutdown D to emerge and they'll be right back to contender status.
Boqvist looks really good. They still have Mitchell, Beaudin and Vlasic as well. They've used 5 of their last 6 1st and 2nd round picks on Defensemen. They traded Jokiharju, but they have a lot of options on D.1 dman can turn one of the worst teams in the league to a contender?
I'd argue they are 2-3 top 4 dmen away from being good and personally I think passing on Byram was a mistake, especially with strome looking like a capable top 6 C

Defenceman historically age much better than Forwards, there’s actually quite a few Norris winners over the age of 30 if you care to look it up. 6 of the last 11 Norris winners have been older than 30 years old.
