AO relies on timing and a quick hard shot, after 35/36 one needs to be super human to keep the fast twitch muscles working, AO is a lot of things but he's not super human and he will loose it, I doubt he even lasts till 40 so it's mute.

While I agree somewhat about the ageing of the muscles, that seems like a really steep drop. Iggy during his final seasons leading up to his 40-year old season scored 29, 22 and 14 goals. I don't see why Ovechkin during the same timeframe would score significantly less in the range of 18, 13 and 8.
