between them the other guys have 54 50 goal seasons and 68 100 point seaons! of these 8/54 50 goal seasons were turned in after 30 (Esposito, Jagr, Lemieux, Dionne) and 12/68 100 points seasons (same names plus Gretzky) last at 33


suspect the next 4 years or so (including the one year he's on the last contract) we will continue to see elite production. the back half likely not?
Around 1/6 of the elite seasons were posted after 30, so I wouldn't bet on it and I'm glad the Oilers did. And without looking, I would guess that they all were a decline from each player's peak season.
