Look at McDavid. The guy is being ridden hard and put away wet. Hes got photos where he looks like a methed out zombie.
I dont think I'd be comfortable placing any long bets on his longevity.

He did, but I would argue that he had a huge hand in that. Great players make the players around them better. Is Kurri the same player if he is drafted by another team? Messier was a 3rd round pick, not sure he becomes one of the greatest of all time if he is playing anywhere else. And on it goes down the roster.
Sather offered Coffie for Babych, straight-up, after their rookie seasons. Wpg said no.
