Hyman - beats career high by 29 points and 9 goals at age 30
Nuge - beats career high by 35 points and 9 goals at age 29
Kane- beats career high (injury adjusted) for goals and ties for points at age 31
you don't need actuarial tables to predict what could happen next

Everything their players did last year revolved around the PP. People look at them like these guys had amazing years, but they really weren't that much better, they just got points.
McDavid, Leon, Nuge and Hyman were all well over 3 mins a game on the PP. Nuge, McDavid and Leon were all over 50 points on the PP. Hyman was at 26.
The Flames leading forwards on the PP were all under 3 mins a game and Toffoli lead with 25 points on the PP.
McDavid had a huge year, he was likely to regress. The rest of these guys were just mooching off him other than maybe Leon but even he isn't as good as his numbers.
