We're also trying a few different things in the match engine to fix the issue with the leaders being a little too low even when overall scoring is at the right level.

It seems like this is only true for assists for me. Points leaders actually seem pretty good to me, while there are usually a bit too many 30+ goal scorers and 40+ scores. Since points seem to be good, it seems more like a problem that forwards score too much and don't get enough assists. Here are the top 5 leader boards in my current dynasty (did nothing abnormal in it):

2020-2021:

Goals (47,46,42,42,41)
Assists (58,53,51,49,48)
Points (86,85,85,82,79)

2019-2020:

Goals (54,46,46,46,45)
Assists (63,57,57,53,52)
Points (98,91,89,87,84)

2018-2019:

Goals (51,48,46,46,44)
Assists (60,53,53,53,48)
Points (92,85,79,79,78)

2017-2018:

Goals (51,50,46,44,42)
Assists (62,56,55,53,53)
Points (84,84,83,81,79)

2016-2017:

Goals (46,44,42,42,41)
Assists (59,50,49,49,48)
Points (87,75,74,73,73)

2015-2016:

Goals (57,49,42,40,39)
Assists (59,59,59,53,47)
Points (91,88,81,81,79)

2014-2015

Goals (61,52,52,49,46)
Assists (75,69,62,59,59)
Points (116,90,90,88,84)

2013-2014

Goals (50,49,48,45,42)
Assists (60,53,50,48,48)
Points (88,79,79,78,78)

2013-2014 (ACTUAL NHL)

Goals (51,43,41,39,37)
Assists (68,65,61,58,56)
Points (104,87,86,84,82)

Keep in mind that 104 point season is Sidney Crosby (as is my 116 point season in FHM). Some of my seasons had upwards of ten 40+ goal scorers, while only one of my season had 3 players with 60+ assists. Points seem pretty close although maybe a tad bit low. You might have a better sample size than me, but it really does seem like there is a problem with too many goals and too few assists. Note that lowering goals per game and raising assists per goal is an undesirable solution as it results defenseman racking up too many assists.
