Yeah, all 41 and 39 year olds are legacies of the inaugural draft.

The way I see it is that the unescapable Reserve Roster favours young players rather than older ones, quite sensibly. With a five round draft, however, it gets full up of 22-25 year olds, with virtually no veterans, which in turn means there are no vets to call up as the season progresses. By the end of a season, most roster in the league has 6 or more under -23s.

Bring shorter drafts!
