Not saying I believe he'll hit 40, but the above is stat cherry picking at it's finest.
His goals/game, pro-rated over an 82 game schedule, have been:
19 y/o season: 21
20 y/o season: 33
21 y/o season: 29
22 y/o season: 25
23 y/o season (current): 22
If there's anything holding him back, it's injuries. There's no denying he's already got 30 goal talent if healthy. And he's 23, not basically 24... he just had his 23rd birthday a few weeks prior to this season's training camp.
EDIT: Also, he actually did score 30 in 2011/12, his 20 year old season. Monahan's age.
