At some point he won't be able to handle the ridiculous minutes...entire power plays, double shifting, ect. In fact you are already seeing him start break down late season every year. Last 3 playoffs he has looked visibly injured by the end of their run.
There is fair, more than fair debate that this was the best option for the Oilers and I welcome the back and forth but saying things like "he will average 100 points a season for the next decade" is beyond ridiculous and deserves major push back.
