Chara is barely replacement level at 43, and he's one of maybe, what, ten guys who could even manage that feat well past age 40 on the blue line.
I think Gio could possibly play regular shifts in the NHL until he's 39 or 40, even power play time. That's not a crazy suggestion. But it's silly to expect him to maintain legitimate top 4 play that long, it's simply too rare. Once this contract ends, he'll either be retired or on a cheapish one year deal as he transitions into a depth role and hands the reins over to the next generation.
