Every year since 1998 I've been keeping track of team's "core ages", which I classify as their keeper list plus their 1st or 1st & 2nd round picks. Below is this year's edition, also showing the last 5 years worth of data. The Mangos maintained their youthful core, going from 3rd youngest to youngest. Last year's youngest squad Paxtang is 2nd youngest this year. The 'Topes shaved off the most years from last year, dropping an average of 2.5 years, while the Walruses have veteran'd it up, increasing their average age by 2.5 years.
