You're not being objective. How exactly am I playing the schmuck?
'EXACTLY' the same.You were being an alarmist, portraying to me at least, that he has a good chance of being a disaster past 30.
Off the top of my head, modern-day NHLer making or made it past 30
Marchand
Crosby
Burns
Kane
Ovechkin
Giroux
Bergeron
Wheeler
Backstrom
E.Staal
Thornton
If you think Perry, LeClair and LeCalvalier are good comparables... I don't know what to say. I'd call him comparable to Marchand and Kane.
That's an incredibly small list of names and those guys fall across a fairly wide spectrum from very good-elite-generational.
You get plenty of guys like Doan, Streit, Timmonen, Arnott, Legwand who can go until their 32/33 or more even though they're not elite at all. There's no rhyme or reason to it but you're pretending that there is.You're pretending like the names you're listing are the rule and not the exception but that's wrongYou also dismiss Lecalv as a comp? The dude had seasons of 70+ for something like 7 years in a row with 2 seasons above 90.
