I'd go the opposite, if this continues gets the young guys up here.

The St. Louis Blues have an average age of approximately 27.5 years, placing them near the middle of the NHL pack for the 2025–26 season.
Youngest Team: Montreal Canadiens – around 26.5 years
Oldest Team: Edmonton Oilers – over 29.5 years

think maybe we just need talent

we are at 20 on that list. And it's going to continue to slide backwards in the coming years because every aged guy is getting replaced by a 20-23 year old. Even this year if you count Dvorsky into the lineup, lets say he sticks it out in 4 weeks (I don't think neighbours is coming back for a long while since they said "reevaluate") when Neighbours is clear. Who are they going to trim? Well you just cut 5-8 years off your roster. What did that do for the Blues? Moved them from 20 to 22 currently. If it happened again when neighbours is back, they would drop as far as to 26th. The Blues are a very youthful team. To act like they aren't and they are middle of the pack is disingenuous.

Also, not sure where you got your stats from, using eliteprospects which is factoring in your healthy roster age. currently oldest 3 who truly are old cause its average age over 29 are kings jets panthers. The babies are Buffalo and Montreal who are under 26. Your source might be better. It's also important to factor in experience. It usually directly correlates with age, but it's not exact, those top 3 get reshuffled. Blues stay at 22. Sabres and Canadiens switch spots.

Whats the updated Avg Age with 20 yr Dvorsky playing center, and when Neighbours plays

I think we are like 27.3 or something like that if you slide in neighbours and take out texier. It's not a big change. we are 27.5 as of now. But that 27.3 if it were to drop to 27.28 puts your at the 25th as far as age goes. that's how close the blues are to the youngest teams in the league. they are much much closer to the bottom than they are the top.

How is "average age" measured? The current playing roster at a given game? Start of year?

What's more, does it weigh time played? If not, having a team with a handful of older, less-played players would statistically — but not necessarily practically — move the "average" higher. And vice versa.

My intuition, perhaps wrong, is that the Blues D is overall older, O younger, G middle of pack.
