IIRC the best years are between 27-31 (or at least thats how it used to be) but maybe that has changed as the game has gotten younger. Just not sure its been "younger" long enough to have that kind of data.

I have no proof either, but I've seen so many NHL players just mysteriously drop off and go from superstars to fringe NHL players at 27 or 28... it looks like between the style of play (and how many playoffs games he's played in those last 5 years) and his physical game, he just loses a step. I think I read somewhere in football, running backs are done in when they hit 30 (disclaimer: I know nothing about football though)
