The prime years are very different for Forwards, Defencemen and Goalies.
Forwards = 22 to 28 years.
Defencemen = 24 years to 30 years.
Goalies = 28 years to 34 years.
Problem is teams often don't give young Dmen or Goalies a chance to show they can be successful at this level. Matt Murray had horrible numbers in Junior. He plays two half seasons in the AHL and all the sudden he is an NHL all star the following year.
There's really nothing wrong with Fleury as a goalie. All of his problems are in his head. If pit was smart they would be trading Murray for two high end prospects and a 1st round pick.
