Another way to look at it - you could also say that Sakic went from #2 in league scoring in 2001, to #5 in League scoring in 2002. That doesn't seem to be a big drop off.
Right now, Johnny was at #8 in league scoring last year, and is currently sitting at #52 in league scoring this year.

That's a great point actually. Tons of players are scoring more than ever.
Sakic was also not a one dimensional player, and I don't know if he had additional defensive responsibilities which led to a decrease in scoring.
