Nobody beats the clock.
Dynasty aging
What a year on the age curve does to NHL dynasty trade value (12-team categories): scoring grows into the mid twenties, peaks at 26 for forwards and 27 for defensemen, then fades from 29 (a curve fit on NHL seasons since 2008); goalies hold their save percentage from 24 to 28, then lose about a point by 31 and four by 36 (fit with each goalie's own level held fixed). Next year's board, everyone a year older. The ones losing the most are worth the most today, if you were thinking of selling.
