I wouldn't consider average age to be a great indicator of a team at all, even when looking at age, because every team is going to have an outlier or two that either raises or lowers the average even though they aren't really impactful at all.

I would consider the Leafs a young team when Matthews, Marner, Nylander, and Reilly are all core plagers and 24 and under, with Tavares being in his prime at 27, but then you've got Marleau, who is nearly 40, and Hainsey in his late 30s bumping up that average. Marleau is a good player but I wouldn't put him at the top of the team's depth chart, and Hainsey is a bad player. Are the Leafs not a young team because of an inflated average age?

The Kings have some young guys on the team, but are they impactful at all? I feel like the average age of a team's 5 most impactful players would be a better indicator of "age", as that is what I'd consider a core.
