That's kind of the common belief but then you look at, for example, Mark Messier averaged a point per game in 84-85 and then in 2000-01 a 40-year-old version of himself had 67 points in 82 games.
Highest scoring season in NHL history 1992-93, Jaromir Jagr had 94 points in 81 games and in 2015-16 he had 66 points in 79 games at age 43.
Selanne's another one, sure he scored 76 goals in 92-93 but he also had 48 at age 36 and 31 in 73 games at age 42 in 2011-12. You'd think if you could transport 92-93 Teemu to 2011-12 he'd score 50 easily.
