It's both, term generally scares me more with players in their late 20's. Rielly is so fast that I think even if he loses a couple of steps he's still faster than most so that extends his career. Hyman though plays such a hard style and those guys tend to hit a wall so much faster. Also Hyman just isn't skilled enough to warrant paying him more than 4 million.
Other side of the coin for Rielly is, his weakness is obviously giving up zone entries, he loses a step and can't recover the same way, how much will that hurt.
Guys that depend on skating, that lose a step can have a pretty fast, steep decline (Karlsson).
