Sean Monahan is 35 goals away from 8th place all-time in goals scored as a Calgary Flame.
Assuming he gets there this season, he will be 25 years old and will have scored the 8th-most goals all-time for a franchise that is 40 years old... in just his 7th season in the League.
He's 43 goals away from moving ahead of Hockey Hall of Famer Lanny McDonald for 6th place all-time. This guy is still on his first 1-way NHL contract for crying out loud. Considering he's just entering what should be his prime, he could very realistically average 35-40 goals a year for the last 4 years of his current contract... meaning he could finish his first non-ELC NHL contract as the 3rd-highest goal scorer all time for a 40-year old franchise.
Just sayin.
