The New York Rangers are one of the youngest teams in the NHL. After last year’s aging, “window is closing” team, that’s certainly a surprising thought to follow. Yet as the Rangers move forward in their quest for the cup, they are doing so behind ten lineup regulars 25 years old or younger.
With that, many are claiming the Rangers must add some veterans into the fray. Recently Scott Burnside of ESPN voiced an opinion of the sort:

This line of thinking is misguided, and if the Rangers management follows it the team will worsen.
