To be clearer. I don't see him breaking the 30 mark again in his career even in a full 82 game season. I think it's unreasonable to expect that of him. We've seen similar players in Sakic, Yzerman, Modano, and the list goes on that all had similar if not worse drops in production. I still put him as a player who can at will score 20-25 goals in a decent year though. I just don't think it's reasonable for Flames' fans to expect him to continue to score as a top 15 forward as he gets older and older.
Still want to see him crack 600 as a flame. It will cement his place in the hockey hall of fame, cup or no cup.
