Longevity is tied to playing style, which definitely works in Huberdeau's favour, but it's also just an individual thing for each player and how their body ages... I wouldn't have predicted what happened to Lecavalier in his late 20's / early 30's, for example.
Nobody predicts Matt Cooke scrambling their brain.

If Cooke hadn’t shredded Karlsson’s Achilles, EK would still be a Norris favourite every year.
