Does Sid have 4-5 more seasons in him?
Can he keep up a respectable scoring pace?

I think we're already seeing the struggle this year.... He's still doing point per game... But... That's 3 more years of 80+ points... Ugh, it'll be damn close

Not on this team.

So, no.


- Relied on too much to literally carry play on L1 against top lines/D pairs for all 82. That wears on you.
- Couple that with linemates who don't particularly light the world on fire.
- +++ He doesn't go "Goal Scoring Sid" nearly enough.

Lack of assists, lack of his own production, and on a club that's clearly headed in the wrong direction. Looks super unlikely. Small adjustment like sticking Geno on his line - as should have been done 3 years ago - perhaps. Get them yet another finisher.... hell, maybe. Have two lines to actually share the load through the season? Why not.

If Sid never gets concussed in the WC he would catch Jagr, and this poll is probably "can Sid hit 2000?"

I think it will depend on linemates. With Rust and Rakell, probably not. If we sign Marner, draft Misa/McKenna, or he gets traded to Colorado and centers Mac...maybe.

Yes, I think it obviously boils down to health and longevity? Will he play 5 more seasons? With Sid you just never know. But I think if he does, a 53.6 point average is a breeze.
