Crosby has been a better overall player these past 2 years despite scoring more as a 18-22 year old.
Defensively, mentally, and physically players should be peaking around 25-30 which has the Flames window from 3-5 years imo

This.
Points are great and all, but of the top 20 point getters in the league last year, 12 of them were over the age of 25 IIRC.
Your peak years in this sport are 24-28 for most, for the exceptional ones they extend that to 32....particularly for defensemen.
