“I'd like to say I have a few good years left in me, but I don't think — and I don't know if patient is the right word — but I don't feel like I have that much time,'' said St. Louis, who captured his second career scoring title last season. “For me, I hope these guys are ready, and guys are coming into their own ... (because) you want to play in April and May. That's what defines careers, sometimes.''


“To me, when a team is rebuilding, it's more that the young kids are not really ready but you still go with it,'' St. Louis said. “I feel like we have young players, quality players. Those guys when they come into the league at 18 or 19, they are impact players right away. So that doesn't mean you are rebuilding, that means you got better right away. That's the way I look it. I don't look at it that we are rebuilding.”
