Young Players League

Watching the NHL channel Western Conference preview, MAF gets some love.

Older players, not so much.

Is 30 years old the top level that you can contribute to a roster? With the explosion of young players available, and players available from outside North America, the shelf life, or window, of older players seems to be shrinking.

There are 40 year Olds playing, but it seems like more guys are... losing their abilities around 30. A lot of guys that seem like they should be solid contributors for another 6 years just stop producing.
