Not trying to take anything away from Ovechkin - his numbers definitely put him in the all-time discussion for goal scoring - but you have to be careful when trying to compare goals per game against retired players.
They have all had their twilight years, which pull their numbers down. He hasn't. Five years from now, he isn't going to be running at .60 GPG.
So let's hold off on trying to rank him on that chart until we're comparing apples to apples.
