I would love to see Ovie beak Gretzky’s career goals record. I’m sure Gretzky would too. He’s got a good shot.

By the way, all of these guys may take a back seat to Connor McDavid when his career is all done. He’s got All of the tools Mario had plus blazing speed. Faster hands. Hope he stays healthy.

if mcdavid got 40 goals a season for the next 15 years, at age 38

he would be close to 150 goals behind wayne


this assumes
A he plays 15 more years, until he is 38
B no lockouts
C 15 healthy seasons

The answer is quite obviously Mario Lemieux.


Mike Bossy... come on. The guy never faced a decent goalie wearing modern equipment in his career.

OV gets the nod over Gretz in this single category based on the era's he's playing in.

1. Mario

big gap

2. OV
2A. Gretz

If Ovi plays another 5years (until he's 40) he should break Gretzkys record for most goals.

Of course this assumes that he stays relatively healthy. Based on the last 15yrs there is a high probability that he will play 70+games per season.

For those that say that its Bossy and not even close....if having the all-time record for the most goals doesnt put you firmly in the convo as the best of all-time then i dont know what does. If he was Canadian, this would have been a no-brainer.
