Condensed schedule equals less time to heal ( and as you get older you need more time to heal ), also many of the plus 30D lead their team in ice time.
Yep.
Exceptional season is one reason.

When I turned 30, I abruptly declined physically also. And I play a defensive position in my rec league sport. It's just a magic number. I felt like a world-beater at 27, but when I hit 30, plunk.
There weren't any teams in the league rolling 4 lines back then. Bottom sixes were filled with junk players for years and years. Now some times have fourth lines that would be 1st lines in the 90's. Game is too fast for oldies to stick around, forwards and defenseman alike.
