He is 36, at some point you start running out of guarantees that "heŽll be fine" later on.

No, he's ONLY 36 and still has lots left in the tank. Teams will line up to give us multiple first rounders and then he'll re-sign in next year and we'll win the cup for sure.....
Too many fans are becoming more and more like leaf fans, always thinking things can turn around for no reason or that the team they have is great because they've formed a bond with them for some reason or another. We over value most players on this team and think that this team is like wine and gets better with age. Our best players are getting older and if you look at their stats they aren't getting better. I do hope they trade Iggy but I still think we'd be far from the playoffs even if we got Crosby for him.
