I'm not just showing impatience or what-have-you-done-for-me-lately. Vlasic is, what, 33? And he is continuing a decline which began two or three years ago. He's following a very similar trajectory to many defensemen. Brent Seabrook, Dion Phaneuf, and Karl Alzner come to mind. Those kinds of players rarely get better suddenly in their mid-30s.
But please, continue using ageism to justify your ill-conceived notions.
