Much is made of the Carolina Hurricanes youth movement. As of the end of the 2016-17 regular season, the Canes 22-player roster had an average age of 26.0 years, almost two years younger than the reported league average of 27.9. Isolate the defense and you'll find that the Canes seven blue liners have an average age of 23.9, a full FOUR years below league average manning the position touted as the one taking the longest to master. And leading that young core is alternate captain Justin Faulk, who turned 25 less than a month ago.
