But given his last four seasons have been 37, 58, 41, 44 points... wait and see seems appropriate.

If Neal lines up with Gaudreau and Monahan I don't see how he does not score 30 goals. Even if he is not with them 5v5 he will score a tonne of goals with them on the powerplay. Conversely, if Lindholm is on that line then I think Gaudreau is a good bet to score 30.
There are several ways for the Flames to get there, but I think chances are quite solid that there will be three 30-goal scorers on this roster next year.
