The above results in a extra 143 goals, which hypothetically would have brought his current total to 833, which would have easily put him in 2nd place all time, behind Gretzky with 894. At the rate he is currently going, you have to think that over the next season or two, he has at least another 30 goals in him. I just find it amazing to think that had things gone differently, he could have seriously challenged Gretzky's record.

There's a flaw in your logic: if you're pro-rating Jagr's goals based on games missed because of lockouts, you have to do the same for the players ahead of him. Gretzky, Hull, Gartner, Yzerman, and Lemieux would also have higher goal totals if not for '94 and/or '04 lockouts
