Suter was always a great skater and a smart player so I'm not shocked he has had a long career, but, it is pretty crazy he is still in the league at this point.....2003 draft pick.

When I first got really into hockey after the 2005 lockout I seem to remember most guys being considered toast by 35. This new generation of athletes, in different sports, are pushing the boundaries for how long a person can remain a professional athlete.

Jagr still outdoes them all though.

Expansion has alot to do with some of these guys still having jobs. More teams, more spots to fill. I think too lots of these guys are getting spots based on their past names more so than current performance. I mean Dallas fans talked nothing but about how bad Suter was.

Jagr is a beast and it’s amazing what he’s still doing in Europe at his age, but Gordie still takes the prize for longevity in hockey I think.

Egor is not exactly setting the KHL on fire... pretty much buried in that CSKA lineup...
