Just going off the top of my head, Gretzky's career high of 92 goals was when he was 22. Mario's 85 goal, 199 point season was when he was 23. Sid's career high of 120 points was as a 19 year old. OV's 65 goal season was when he was 22. Nieuwendyk and Selanne's career high in goals were both in their rookie seasons. When did Perry win his Hart? 24 years old?
Not a stretch to say a player's offensive peak is in their early to mid 20's.
