Why would a player that is showing no signs of slowing down all of a sudden fall apart at age 32 or 33? This makes no sense. If this was true Giordano would not have won a Norris, he would have been out of the game.

Why is it likely? Because the vast majority of offensive players slow down by age 33. Voracek isn't worth $8.25M now, never mind at age 33 and 34.

Well that's just plain stupid. Seriously. You're cutting your nose off to spite your face. That's how you guarantee that your team goes to hell and has to suffer through a painful rebuild. Don't pull an Iginla all over again. Recognize how to maximize assets and make a deal. Get the best assets available and move on.

Having another anchor contract, and a huge one at $8.25M (making him the highest paid player on the team) is how you guarantee that your team goes to hell.
But you just keep on calling opinions that differ from yours stupid, because that will certainly strengthen your case.
