The LA Kings had one clear objective this offseason and that was to add depth to their roster, specifically players who have playoff experience. The additions of Corey Perry, Joel Armia, Brian Dumoulin, and Cody Ceci certainly helped with that.
However, in the process of adding experience they might have actually hurt their playoff chances as they lost a lot of younger players on their roster. The average of those four players entering this season is going to be 34.25 with Perry being the oldest at 40.
Meanwhile, the departure of Vladislav Gavrikov, Jordan Spence, and Tanner Jeannot had an average age of only 27.
