Yet another great reason to avoid the UFA trap. Sooner or later fans will come around to the fact that careers are 18-31 with the odd hall of famer like Kopitar or Crosby thrown in. Or a borderline one like Pavelski.
ELC, max term extension, trade in final year, let someone else fund the decline. Rinse and repeat.
