I think one of the real reasons why the Leafs have been one of the youngest teams is because they've lacked those 3rd/4th line veteran forwards or 3rd line veteran dmen.
The Leafs pick up 29 year old jay mcclement, 28 year old (at the time) Colton Orr, 28 year old Colby Armstrong or 25 year old Cody Franson and etcetera.
Other teams would regularly pick up 30+ players to fill those roles.
I think a better way of measuring average age would be to check top 6 forwards, top 4 dmen and starting goalie.
