I think one of the most interesting questions is if/when he decides he wants out. And if Leon does that first? Or do they both decide to go elsewhere together?
If I was an Oiler fan I would be deeply worried about that.

whether traded or not, despite his superb conditioning at some point his ice time will decrease (either due to ageing, team construction/expectations or both) so this is a good point. presumably (although I haven't read the athletic article, Dom's predictions are based on average aging curves- but I think you are right that superimposed on that is a guy who at some point stops playing 145 of 2 m PP and 22 minutes a night
