From his sophomore season until he was 30 he was averaging over 20 goals a season. In fact, from his sophomore season until his last season in Washington he put up a 22+ goal pace over 82 games.
Now, at 31, he put up 13 goals. Of course I'm hoping it was just a bad year if he stays with the Flames, but he could be one of the many many other players who declined after 30. It's not like I couldn't pick from one of the many many many other players to chose from.
I like that you're now disputing that players don't often decline at 30+ years of age. Lol.

I am disputing that you are using 1 year to justify him as a 25 goal scorer. Not only that, you are not providing any information on what line he is playing on. What teams he was on. Or how much powerplay time he was getting.
