There are a couple who, with bad luck, might start slipping in their mid-20's, and one who's headed for a very big early flameout, but for the most part your guys will be OK.

Wow! Fascinating answer especially breaking down what happened in each player's case, thanks for much to looking into this for me!
A question based on this: is there anything in particular when scouting players that I should be on the look out for that can indicate a player might be on the road to a short career arc? Typically when drafting a player in the NHL, besides ability/potential, I look at the player's professionalism rating, and look at the image that displays the player's body and the propensity for injury in different areas (almost always avoiding players that have more than one vulnerable or fragile area). Am I missing something?
