Questions like will Ovi break 895 are dumb. In his next 4 seasons he will score a total of 126 goals (34, 32, 31, 29) and then he will retire from the league with around 784 goals. He wont even be a 30 goal scorer 4 years from now!
The field. Ovi is done winning rockets. He will get between 30-35 goals.
Always take the field.
There were 10 players within 10 goals of Ovechkin last season, and every single one of them is younger than him, most considerably younger.
He may not decline next season, but he is getting older and it’s going to be more difficult for him with each passing year.
Plenty of great goal scorers in this league and there are a number of excellent candidates who could pot 50 next season.
