In addition, he's played 64 additional playoff games in teh past 3 years (I realized he had a short 2012-13 reg season) and 5 additional olympic games in 2014 - thats a lot of extra milage on a already 33 y/o, almost a full NHL reg season added on.
with that amount of travel and seeing players from long playoff runs break down in LA and Boston, I'm not convinced Sharp will be ready for a new year and new team next year.
