Yzerman did dropped off a little bit but still point per game during their Cup years and he had Fedorov.
Point is you cant look at the way Monahan is going and say he is going to do what Yzerman and Sakic did. He is trending down big time.

Yzerman didn't do anything until the Russian5 showed up, Lidstrom and the 10 other superstars that Detroit paid to come, i.e. Shanahan, Hull etc. Everyone seems to forget Detroit was spending $70M per year when the rest of the league was spending around $35m (except the Rangers and Avs). Everyone has this love affair with Yzerman forever but he couldn't lead the Wings to anything by himself.
