Its worse for a player like Heatley who was never a good skater.
You don't recover like you did when are in your early 20's. Working out, eating right, sleep, no partying all these things play a big part.
Kind of what worried me about keeping Tkachuk once your skating goes and you are not a great skater to begin with that's trouble.
