I think most years he'll get between 20-30 goals, with perhaps one year just over 30. Looking at his most hopeful comparable, Patrick Kane, there's a guy who's only scored 30 goals once in his career (actually Kane overall doesn't have the most spectacular numbers, although with him of course it's his timing that's amazing).

However it's playmaking that is his real forte, so if he keeps playing with the right guys, I wouldn't be surprised if he had a monster 70 assist year at some point. I'd expect 40-50 assists most years though.
