This was what I was thinking too.
Every player who was going through the system in the late 90’s and later were learning after Gretzky’s elevation of the game. His Vision, playmaking, strategies based off his Hockey IQ.

If Gretzky never played in the NHL until today, the game as a whole wouldn’t be as good as it would be now and Imo, Gretzky would dominate
