Iginla had the following year-by-year declines in his career:
96 to 67
89 to 69

It happens to everyone.

It's also hugely dependent on the system deployed.
Johnny's dip is being mirrored by Tkachuk, Monahan, and Giordano. The lack of offense this year is system-related. The increase in dump and chase hockey, I imagine deployed as a tool to try and teach the core players how they'll have to find success during the playoffs, has crushed our scoring almost all season long.
