Not to say those can't be factors. Just seems odd to harp on people for making declarations or predictions of the future while also doing the same.

I don't think it's dubious to assume that a player that has been elite for years, and has one bad year, would revert back to being the player he always was (not 115 pts, but 70-90).
To me, that is the more likely scenario than 'suddenly forgot how to hockey'.
