The NHL really is a young man's game - seven of the league's top-10 scorers in 2011-12 were 25 or under. The year before? Seven of those same 10 were 30 or over.
OK, so I lied - there were 11 guys in the top 10; there was a tie for tenth. Still, the top three were all young - Evgeni Malkin, Steven Stamkos and Claude Giroux - followed by Phil Kessel at six, James Neal at seven, John Tavares at nine and Erik Karlsson in a tie with Patrick Elias in that tenth spot. Among the over-25 set, only Jason Spezza, Ilya Kovalchuk and Henrik Sedin infiltrated the top 10. And only Sedin and Elias were over 30. Youth really has been served.
