Pedigree: His dad put up a ppg season in his 2nd season in the NHL as a 21 year old.... He did that on a team where he led in goal scoring by 8 and pts by 7. That turned out to be his 3rd best season both goal scoring and point wise in his 18 year career.

Sure but it's not like Matthew "peaking" means the rest of his years are gonna be terrible by comparison. Keith scored 81 points in 1994 and proceeded to hover around a point-per-game until 2007.
Even if Matthew only surpasses 77 points a couple times in his career, I don't think it's anywhere near unreasonable to suggest he hovers around 65-75 consistently (with a couple 80+ years) until he's 31 or 32. And that suggests he's done improving, which I don't think he is. I see 50+ goals in a season as a possibility.
