Hmm here are some things to think about...
Need to define what a "30 goal scorer" is then?
Scored 30 goals with virtually no support this year. Never had a #1 centerman.
Scored 19 in 53 a couple years ago before getting his hand disintegrated into a million pieces. (On pace for 30 that year)
Is he a Pacioretty type sniper 30+ goal scorer? No but then again, he's done it this year, he could of had the year before when he got injured, barring injury his goals all came from hard work and he's one of the hardest working players in the league so....I mean is Grabner a "30 goal scorer"? He's done it once before and has flirted with it multiple times while playing less minutes than other 30 goal scorers.....
Not sure you can make an argument that he isn't a 30 goal scorer... What you can do however is define what a 30 goal scorer is in your mind and make an argument to fit your perception and it be valid.
The more accurate question is he an elite 30 goal scorer? A la Tarasenko, Seguin, etc? No he is not. We all know this. He could score 40 and I wouldn't change my mind.
Scoring 30 goals doesn't make you that good of a player anymore. 3rd liners can get 30 in this league nowadays. Scoring points has become less significant than it used to be. Its really coming down to how you score them IMO. That's the only way to separate the guys who scored 30 goals from the "30 goal scorers".
