Drury has produced at a rate of 2.21 p/60 at 5v5 since December that's a fine rate
"Where is the evidence that Nelson is going to fall off a cliff?"- He's 32 and father time is a thing... I don't think he's gonna defy time like Brent Burns
"Aho plays with much better players , system doesn’t really have an impact on players, it’s more quality of teammates so you’re wrong" - Except for the last month the two best forwards other forwards than him (Andrei Svechnikov, Martin Necas) almost always played on the second line with KK. System does have a massive effect on play especially at 5v5... The Hurricanes are much more of a point-shot team than the Islanders are

Drurys offensive play driving is below average , his on ice S% will regress.
No one said Nelson is going to defy Father Time. Where is the evidence he will fall off a cliff in the next year and a half. There are usually signs in a players game (lack of primary points, not being able to generate shots , lack of transition success) that show a player is going to fall off a cliff in the near future. What about Nelson’s base stats or advanced analytics show he’s about to fall off?
Isles have been a heavy point shot team for a while - quality of teammates have more of an impact on points than any system. Aho has 6 defenseman that can move the puck at an above average level, makes it much easier for him.
