Are they declining? Hell no. Your team will win when the chosen ones score 30 less points but give up far fewer chances and goals.
That’s maturing. Not ‘peaking’.

100 point Crosby is better than 120 point Crosby. Also a lot less whiny.
Same goes for Ovechkin.
However, when McDavid gets past his offensive peak, the Oiler fans will have a lot less to be excited over. They have nothing in life going for them other than McDavid's point totals. And he may have already hit a career high in terms of point per game production.
