Anyone coming from Europe/Russia is used to play 50 games. Eller, for instance, played 50 games in the SEL and almost 80 the following year in Peoria/St-Louis (1st line and 1st PP in Peoria).
I understand your concern but I'd give more playing time to a 25-year old over a 36-year old.
Plus, I doubt he would get much ice time on the PP or on the PK.
