A human generation is about 22-33 years (wiki).
If being the best goal scorer of your entire generation doesn't make you a generational player, you need new metrics for determining who makes the cut. smh.

That doesn't make sense at all. I know what you are trying to say but to me, all that says is Iginla was the best goal scorer from his draft class. How do you account for players who played between 1996-2017 but also outside of that time frame? For example, if a player started playing in 2016 and finishes with a career with more goals than Iginla (like OV), then what? Or if a player played until 2000s and retired but had more goals than Iginla (like Lemieux). In these cases, Iginla did not score more goals than everyone else who played during that time.
If you are trying to say no one scored more goals than him in any season he played, then sure... but he didn't.
