Also for every 1 ancient guy pointed out in here that can still play, there's about 8 guys that start dropping like a rock in their late 20s.

Most dmen like Hanifin (top 20-30 in the league in even strength scoring, solid on the PK) don’t drop like a rock in their late 20’s. It is the more mediocre players that have the drop off, not guys that year in and year out are in the top 10-15% of all the players at their position.
