Obviously needs to be taken in context as it doesn't take into account all the factors of an NHL player, but my point was that what Gio has done tends to go against relative expectations for a player in the NHL. Yes, he's a late bloomer and an outlier, but I don't think its reasonable to expect that because he bloomed in his late 20s, everything else gets pushed back as well. At the very least, our long-term plan shouldn't be based on him being a force late into his 30s...even if we all hope he is.
