2 Canadian Franchises Land on The Top 10 Youngest Teams List
With the NHL trying to bring difference to the League with things like the salary cap, teams must keep looking to the draft big. Most of the good teams drafted well while others haven't been so lucky in the draft so they go through free agency or trades.
The saying now is this is a young man's game as the older players are a dying breed. NHL.com revealed the teams average age heading into the 2022-23 season here are the top 10
1. Buffalo Sabres: Average Age: 25.9 Years Old.
