What kind of poll is this?? If by "longevity" you mean who played the most games, then by Monday it should be Marleau. If it's time between starting and finishing, then it's Howe. It's not really an opinion-based question.

No. Howe and Jagr played until they were older and at a higher level

It depends what you mean with longevity. Longevity when it comes to hockey seems to imply an ability to play hockey at a "high level for long". So in that case it would be a no. A better word for what you're looking for would be durability. When it comes to durability Marleau is probably second to none. Well maybe second to Ovechkin.
