Since arriving in the NHL in 2011, Cam Atkinson has continued to improve, especially on the offensive end. The Columbus Blue Jackets forward netted a career-high 35 goals, but breaking personal records is nothing new to Cam. He’s actually done it every single year.
In the 2011-2012 season, Cam scored seven goals. Nine goals for him the next season. 21 the year after that. 22 two years ago. And 27 goals last season. It’s just become expected that he’ll one-up himself.
But how long can he realistically do that? Can he be like Sidney Crosby and basically not age?
