I get that he’s not the most flashy and he’s yet to crack 40 but he has consistently produced every year to the point he’s averaging over 31 goals a season through 7 completed seasons.
That number has only continued to go up as he has put up 35+ goals 3 of the last 4 years (Covid being the one he didn’t)
[Currently his goals per game ranks him 89th all time](https://www.quanthockey.com/nhl/records/nhl-players-all-time-goals-per-game-leaders.html) that is ahead of guys like Mackinnon who just hit 300 goals.
[He also moved back into the top 10 goal scorers since his rookie season.](https://www.statmuse.com/nhl/ask?q=most+goals+since+2016-2017) So there currently is only 9 players league wide with more goals than him in that time frame.
There’s a real chance he could join the very exclusive club of 600 goal scorers if he can maintain his current consistency. With Rod’s system focusing on keeping guys in shape and his less than physical nature he is taking the steps necessary.

In terms of all time I would consider top 50 the start of that group. Aho would make it into the top 50 before the end of his next deal at his current pace of 31 a year.
He would need to get his rate up to 32.5 a year to pass into the top 40 before the end of his next deal which is also completely possible.
