Just to add to that with some numbers...
By the same age, Gretzky had played 1009 games and had 749 goals - a .742 GPG pace.
After that, Gretzky played another 478 games and scored 145 goals, a .303 pace.
So comparing Ovechkin's GPG pace to the full career of Gretzky (or anyone else) is somewhat misleading.
