Era adjusted doesn't care about any of that. It just determines the value of a point scored in any era. Doesn't matter that Iggy was first in 02 and Nilsson was only 4th (?) in 81. It just says that a point scored in 02 is worth more than a point scored in 81 (and in 21 too). It's just a way of normalizing point totals across all eras, regardless anything else.

Like, there might be various reasons why a point scored in 1981 is worth considerably less than one scored in 2002, but that's for other stats to help figure out.

In order to account for different schedule lengths, roster sizes, and scoring environments, some statistics have been adjusted. All statistics have been adjusted to an 82-game schedule with a maximum roster size of 18 skaters and league averages of 6 goals per game and 1.67 assists per goal.
