Tough to measure anyone against Gretzky. He transcended the sport the way Jordan and Ali did as well. Even today if you ask non-hockey fans to name a hockey player, his name would come up a fair bit.
But as for the rest...Jagr will certainly be looked at fondly. He will also be remembered for his role in the 1998 Gold Medal winning team and how important that was to him and his country.
