I have no idea if this is true or not, but I feel like there might be less attrition in general for hockey players. I had no issues with picking Marleau, and would have absolutely taken guys like Datsuyk, Zetterberg, the Sedins, Hossa etc... and felt pretty comfortable that I was getting 3+ years of solid production even though they're in their mid-late 30s. I really shy away from baseball players in that same age range.
