Slowly the NHL is starting to follow the NFL and the time of 30 year old UFA's getting big paydays is slowly coming to an end. There will always be some elite players that can carry their play well into their 30's but teams are getting burned big time by overpaying complementary players on the decline. This guy is a complementary player who's best days are probably behind him. Good pick up for the right price but not a player you want to invest long term.
