50 goals is a really nice achievement but with the game constantly evolving the "40 goals" is more like the new "50 goals" now.
I truly think that expecting him to pot 50 in a season before he even reaches his physical prime is really reaching. If you look at this year's totals, only a single person managed that: Ovechkin. The closest were Corey Perry and Joe Pavelski at 40's. The trailers after those two are 30's.
Can you look at the 2013-2014 scoring leaders chart and honestly tell us all that Sean will exceed all those named superstars before he's even UFA-eligible? I think it's time to temper your expectations of him, given current comparable stat sheets.
I'll stand by my original assessment of Monahan becoming a 30-goal scorer two-way playmaking centre. As the quality of Sean's linemates grows, I'd expect to see his assist totals go up, more so than his goal count.
