Who said anything about peak? I said I disagreed with the gap between him and Matthews being less than the gap between the goalies based on current performance and circumstances going forward.
But you can look at many of the young talents in the top 20 in that 2022-23' season to see regression in point totals there last year. The majority of players that met the same production level or exceeded it in the following season were players in their prime years, while guys like Karlsson and RNH fell off.
I'm simply just saying I think scoring was fairly elevated for that year, and extrapolating a high scoring season as evidence for future growth may not be realistic if we're projecting anything.
