Bossy is the all-time leader in goals scored per game. In NHL history. Gretzky has called him the best right-winger to ever play the game..
The guy had 573 goals and 553 assists in 752 NHL games. He retired in his prime - at age 30. I know a lot of folks on this board didn't start watching hockey until 1998, but you can still do some research about this stuff.

Bossy also played in the highest scoring era in the NHL.
In Mike Bossy's best season he scored 69 goals. Average Goals per game that year was 7. In Iggys best year he scored 52 goals when the average scoring was 5.2 Multiplying Iggy's 52 goals by 1.34 (the increased scoring rate) gives Iggy an adjusted goal total of 70.
The comparison is valid if you do a little research about this stuff.
