Unfortunately for us I'm of the opinion he will still be one of the top players when he's that age. I've always thought his game would age well, better than McDavid's even (although last playoffs may have changed my mind) as he isn't reliant on the blazing speed.
Won't matter though as I'm also of the opinion there aren't enough smart people up there to fill out the rest of the team effectively. They haven't proven otherwise for years and I haven't seen anything to suggest that will change.
