When I watch him, I see less of the brute that risks his body and puts everything into every hit, and more a guy who puts himself in the best position to defend. He doesn't subject himself to open ice hits, he doesn't skate with the puck, so I just don't see the argument that he will fall to pieces at 34. Ive seen lots of big strong players that play smart and enjoy long careers. I could just as easily say that fast skating players are likely to slow down and experience regression.
