Everyone acts like 34-37 year old players can’t remain insanely productive. This upcoming season will be Ovechkin’s 37 year old season. Patrick Kane will be playing his 34 year old season. Martin St. Louis was well over a point a game at 37. Evgeni Malkin just signed a four year deal at 36, and Letang at 35. The list is endless. I bet this deal ages far better than most of you are expecting. This is a player who relies on his incredible IQ, elite passing, and strong passion for the game.
