While I do agree that very few players follow the Cheechoo career trajectory, most players start declining well before they are 30.

A prominent study from ten years ago showed most forwards stay within peak range from something like 24-32. As fitness has advanced and play style has changed over the last 20 years, I imagine it’s at least stayed the same if it hasn’t expanded.
More guys are playing better, longer, as far as I can tell.
