It is very very hard to score 50 goals . Let alone for the next decade as an average - don’t forget age and injuries happen.
I think over the next 13 years it isn’t inconceivable he scores at a 40 goals pace and challenges those guys in his age 39-40 seasons , but thinking he’ll be scoring 530 goals over his next 10 years starting at his age is almost unthinkable

Ovi scored 50 as recently as 2 years ago at age 36.
NHL scoring seems to be up in recent years. If it stays like this for the next decade, Matthews definitely has a shot of averaging close to 50/year over that span. It's an optimistic target, but it's possible.
