Certainly.

But the thing is...one of the things that gets me is that people have a tendency to think of things as 'Ceteris Paribus.'

"Holding all else constant."

Which it is not. McDavid and Drai will get older. More tired. Time marches on.

That old Oilers quote against the Islanders was also describing a much different team in a different era against different opponents.

Its irrelevant and stupid to think that way, because nothing stays the same forever.
