Acting like advanced stats mean much of anything in hockey is absurd. This isn't baseball. Hockey is a real team sport. It's foolish to try and draw conclusions from the numbers.
Edit: And that's just a list of who put up the most points between the ages of 28 and 33. What does that have to do with anything?

These aren't advanced stats
What does it have to do with anything? It means you wishful thinkers that see Rick Nash having a born-again experience with the Rangers is, well, unlikely to say the least. He will not improve his goal totals from now until 33. Unless you think he's some sort of shining beacon of generational talent.
Off-topic: Ignore advanced stats to your peril (Even these aren't, at all). Puck possession (Corsi and whatnot) was a major problem of ours last season and we didn't do much at all to improve it in the offseason. You know, uh, having the puck is a good thing.
