How many career goals can Matthews realistically score in that scenario?

[lipstickjunkie]

If he averaged 30 goals a season for the next 13 seasons he'd finish with 650. Given how he's been performing and how well I think his game will age, 750-800 is definitely feasible if he plays another 1000+ games.

Edit: Didn't realize this thread was made a year and a half ago but nothing since then has happened to change my mind.

No he wouldn't
If he didn't score any more goals this year and averaged 30 for the next 13 years, he'd be at 740.

Matthews was at 259 when the post was made so I was going off that math.

I think finishes 3rd all time if health permits. He scores goals with a ridiculous release but his best ability is finding prime scoring lanes all over the ice he plays a positionally sound game that will age well

As it is often the case, my "narratives" got a lot of resistance but what about this now? Would 35% of voters still vote under 700 goals?

I think he could pass gordie howe
