Pavelski is kind of a unicorn but I get where you are coming from. Mark Stone is also not fleet of foot and still pretty effective at 31 years old. It can go the other way as well so time will tell. Right now I don't think anyone in the Panthers organization really cares about how good a of a player he is in his 30's. It's all going to be worth it if they can win a cup this season.
