Exactly. It's not like it's a Duncan Keith situation where he's over the hill, it seems entirely plausible that OEL would re-gain the step he needs to be a solid defenceman, even though he's obviously not elite anymore. The problem is when he inevitably loses that step again next year or the year after and he's still being paid over 7 mil until he's 36.
