Nah. He's got this season and next to do it' cause he's not getting a contract after this one, and i just don't see him scoring at a high enough rate to hit that mark. He'd have to score about ~32 Goals a year for the next two years. I just don't see that happening. Probably ends up more like ~475 on the career.

If he hadn't taken his little KHL hiatus though, he'd have easily been there already. Another "what could have been", like Jagr.

TBH I forgot Kovalchuk was still even in the league.

He’s actually been good aside from his time with Willie D that moron.

He can still get another contract for 1-2 years after this one.

What would he be at if you considered his KHL goals in the total?

What would he be at if you considered his KHL goals in the total?

He has 138 goals in the KHL (2012-2018) and 27 more in Russian pro (2004-2005, pre KHL)

If you add up all his pro stats since he's been drafted, he has 601 goals and 1239 points in 1250 games

He may if he sticks around long enough. He's basically a compiler at this point.

Jagr has said that spending 3 years in the KHL/away from the NHL prolonged his career.

Lopsided result.
