There is usually one old or two old defencemen in the NHL who play at a high level.

It is a plainly terrible idea to make plans around the assumption that your guy us going to be the one who bucks that trend.

I can name a pile of wingers who were still good past 40. Making future plans around 40+ year old wingers is still absolutely silly. .
