Easy yes

Not with the talent around him. Dubas has stripped the roster of it.

I think that is a tall task if he sticks with PIT, which I’m sure he will….i just don’t think he’ll continue playing long enough…he probably retires after 2 seasons after this one

It depends almost entirely on how long he wants to play - which is not something we know.

The team traded away 8 of its most recent 12 first round draft picks. The sacrificing the future goes way back before Dubas.

Definitely could if he wanted to but I don’t think he sticks around long enough

Yeah but it was Dubas who traded Guentzel away and thought Drew O Connor would be a fine replacement for Sid’s wing.

If he plays only the two seasons he signed for, no.

If he plays longer, yes.

675 sounds about right through 2026-2027.

If he plays out only his next contract it would be pretty tough. He’s been a 30-40 goal scorer most of his career when healthy, but he’s getting older and the team is going downhill. He has 106 in the three years before this but I don’t expect another 42 goal year like last year. He’s on pace for only 28.5 this year though he’ll likely get hot at some point. If he gets say 33 that’s another 25, then he’d need 75 in the next two years.

I say he falls just short. I can’t imagine him sticking around if the team is going to be this bad and it’s clear he doesn’t want to go elsewhere. I’ll say he just passes Selanne with 685.

He'll be at 665-680 when his contract is up at the end of the 26-27 season.

He will be 40 that off season. It really comes down to how long he wants to play.
