With some changes, the nucleus of the team will still be in place:  Sidney Crosby, Jonathan Toews, John Tavares, Jamie Benn, Patrice Bergeron, Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry should all still be in their prime in their early 30’s (or late 20’s as it may be).

The same goes for the blue line, with Drew Doughty, Shea Weber, Alex Pietrangelo and Duncan Keith all in that same area.  P.K. Subban will be four years older and wiser, and Jay Bouwmeester will still be only 34, despite the fact it seems like he has been around for a century.
