I was pouring my morning cup of java when a question popped into my head. A loaded one at that. Can the Penguins’ win another Cup with our aging core?
As incredible as it seems, our forever-young core ain’t so young any more. Evgeni Malkin’s 32…and perhaps starting to play like it (minus-19). Sidney Crosby…our beloved “Kid”…is 31. While shining as always, this is his 14th NHL season. Phil Kessel and resurgent Kris Letang are 31 as well.
Among the supporting cast, Patric Hornqvist and Jack Johnson are 32.
