What if players thread

yes Stamkos was still a good goal scorer after the injury but could he have been a better one and put up more goals? same with Heatly?, lmk what you think about that.

If gretzky, bossy, lemuiex, bure, bobby hull never got injured they all would have got probably over 1,000 goals, and wayne gets over 3,000 points, lmk what you think about that.

Stamkos could still score 700 goals. That's elite company. 8 players have done it in NHL history. That's pretty hard to do better than that. He'll probably be 21st in goals by the end of this season. And with all due respect to Mike Gartner who is a model of consistency, he did it while finishing high in the goal scoring race several years.

As for Heatley his goal scoring took an inexplicable nosedive in his late 20s. This is several years after the accident in Atlanta and this is still with Joe Thornton on his team hitting him with passes. I don't think Heatley necessarily leads the NHL in goals without that injury in any given season, but he still hits 50 as he did twice anyway. He was well on his way to a HHOF career and then just went into a black hole the final 5 years of his career and he wasn't old either. Even by 2009 on Ottawa you could see him declining. So I don't think the accident was the reason because he bounced back after that quite well.

yes he could hit 700 which is good but if he was never injured would he have the chance of 800?

Danny heatly's accident was right as he was going into his prime so if he never got injured would his number be higher?

Also what about crosby if never got injured he would probably be about to hit 700 and have a chance at 800 or more, whats your thoughts on that?

I got a few main ones i would like to know how their career would have turned out, I mainly want to know what their stats would have been. Mario Lemuiex if he never got injured, Bobby Orr if he never got injured, Mike Bossy if he never go injured, Bobby hull he never left the NHL for the WHA, Eric Lindros never gets injured, Peter Forsberg never gets injured, Sidney Crosby if he never got injured, Pavel Bure if he never got injured, Steven Stamkos if he never got injured, Danny Heatly never has the car accident, Iyla Kolvachuck stays in the NHL and doesn't leave for the KHL, Gordie Howe never leaves the NHL for the WHA, Jaromir Jagr doesnt leave the NHL for the KHL. If anybody could figure that stuff out and share the information that would be great.

Just a question if Ovi plays all his games during his career and has not lockout or covid shortened season does he get 1000 or more goals?

does anybody have answers or stats they could share with me on this?

… stats for what-if scenarios?

They all get career-ending injuries day 1 of this alternate universe. No points/goals. It sucks.
