Give him 39 points in 2007-2008 to get him to 111.
Give him the pretend extra 66 in 2010-2011 to get to 132.
Give him another 100 fake points to get him to 137 in 2011-2012.
Give him 19 more points to get to 75 in 2012-2013.
That’s being wildly, absurdly generous by giving in to his paced numbers (aka pretend) and giving him an extra 224 points in the 142 games he missed over those four seasons, and he would still be at “just” 1824 points, while missing just 73 games over 19 seasons.
Sorry, there’s nothing about this where he’d be easily 1900+ or pushing 2000 right now.
I don't think he'd have been pushing 2000 or perhaps even 1900 right now but he'd be in the 1800's I think for sure and he'd therefore have a shot at 2000+ assuming he would have played long enough to get there and assuming his play doesn't fall off drastically in the next 2-3 years.
Injuries almost certainly cost him at least one more art ross/richard as well as he almost certainly would have won both trophies in 2010-11.
He probably also wins an Art Ross in 2012-13 if he doesn't get hurt that year. He finished only 4 points back of MSL despite missing 12 games.
But these are all what ifs. We could also say in 2009 if Ovechkin didn't miss 12 games he almost certainly passes Sedin and Crosby for another art ross himself.
Sid's actual resume is absurdly good as we all know. We don't need to think about what could have been. What has been has been more than any Pens fan or NHL fan could have ever asked for. He's lived up to the billing and then some.
