Does Crosby get to 700 career goals?

[Video Nasty]

He'll need to play another year after his contract is over. Let's say 30+25+25 takes him to 680 at the end of his contract at age 39. One more year at 20 goals will get him to 700 at age 40.

For points let's say 80+70+70 takes him to 1841 at age 39. One more year at 60 points will get him to 1901 at age 40.

So barring injury if he plays to 40 he can realistically hit 700 goals 1900 points.

It’s basically up to him where he ends up. If you told me up front that he’d play through his age 42 season, I’d be comfortable predicting 750 goals and 2000 points.

Yea he's said before he would bow out if he thought he wasn't playing at a high level. Don't see him sticking around until 42.

Obviously yes. 2027-28 or one season later.

 

[BallardEra]

Only 8 goals in 30 games and on pace for 22 goals this season.

His 8.9 shooting % has to surely move up closer to his career total of 14.5 %.

Those last 100 goals look like they're going to be a grind for him.

9 games without a goal for Crosby.
