Definately wrong. These type of stupid milestones that don't mean jack squat is what cost us good value for pretty much all our core players and set this franchise back. You trade players when they make sense and you can maximize value, not so you can see him get 503 goals and 1021 points instead of 496 goals and 978 points.
EDIT : Funny as I write this, its my boss's last day after begin with the company for 39 years and 7 months. When asked when he didn't wait to 40, he just said "it sounds nice and everything, but who are you going to tell and who is going to care? All they'll care about is I'm retired."
