Even after hiring a new front office (led by Kyle Dubas) that overhauled a significant portion of the team’s roster this offseason, the Pittsburgh Penguins are again set to have one of the oldest rosters in the NHL for the 2023-24 season.
After adding veteran forwards Reilly Smith, Noel Acciari, Lars Eller, and Matt Nieto, along with returning players all being another year older, the Penguins roster is going to be pushing an average age of 30 years. At the moment, their average age as a team is 29.7, and that is before any potential addition of San Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson.
