You need to be more pessimistic.
A decline can also mean 100 point seasons instead of 130-150. I see that as a distinct possibility and it may have already begun. Also seeing as his GAF meter about the regular season appears to have been knocked down especially this past season, which was a little more ordinary for him.
He cares more about playoffs now than bagging an extra secondary assist per night to retain the scoring title.
Remains to be seen if this is actual growth of character or him just mad about not having won at any level since junior (tehe).
