Heh...true enough.
I'm just noting that, from my experience, most players are still not far off of their peak at 35. Sure, they're not like they were at 27, but usually their production isn't that far off from their best unless they have had debilitating injuries in the meantime.
No, 37, 38, you're talking drop off in today's hockey player, particularly skill players who rely on speed.
