I think you have to look at Games Played and Assists as big factors in there. For Game winning goals, there is only 1 available every game. And Gretzsky did not have as long of a career as others. Also to get all of those assists other guys must have been scoring allot, so they are going to pick up a few GWG.
Also in the first 4 years of Gretzksy career a smaller percentage of games were "Won" before over time was introduced. Meaning fewer GWGs were handed out.
