So to leave the diving issue alone...
What I think we are seeing with this low total for the Art Ross is how talent is levelling off in the NHL. 4th line players now need to be able to contribute a regular shift, not just be situation players like goons. With more even talent on rosters, teams don't have to lean on 1-2 guys to score most of their points. There also aren't so many easy matchups to milk
