I think a realistic expectation is a career average of 15 to 20 goals, 20 ish assists. But he will also have that one or two years where everything goes his way and he pots 30 goals.

Yep, he had a perfect example right in front of his eyes in Lance Bouma of what happens when you constantly sacrifice your body to contribute and win.
It sounds like the right thing to do, play to win at all costs, but as much as fans and coaches praise it, they'll turn on you the second you can't do it anymore and that time WILL come soon for role players playing that way. All you're really helping is that years version of your team, and I would be concerned of doing that if I was a player.
