Lemieux scored at a 0.75GPG rate, compared to Gretzky's 0.60GPG. Gretzky however had 1.32APG compared to Lemieux's 1.12APG. Gretzky's PPG was 1.92, Lemieux's was 1.88.
By Far, the 2 greatest players of all time.

Assuming Lemieux would continue to produce at the same pace is a big if.
Players slow down at the end of the their career. (I know he missed some in the middle too, but not enough)
And you can add 'if's to Gretzky's numbers too
