Not to take anything away from SM, but the comparison can't be made without that consideration.
It's not easier to score now than it was in 1996. It might even be harder.

Here's the average goals per game per team for each of Monahan and Iginla's first five years.

Iginla:

96/97: 2.92
97/98: 2.64
98/99: 2.63
99/00: 2.75
00/01: 2.76

Monahan:

13/14: 2.74
14/15: 2.73
15/16: 2.71
16/17: 2.77
17/18: 2.97

This is becoming eerie.
