Part of me would be sad if he beat Howe as I would hope for someone with more stature, for lack of a better word.
wonder what the top 20 list would look like if you add in WHA, KHL (for Jagr) and playoff games for those leagues.

This is why Gordie Howe is considered the best ever by many.
If you add up all his NHL & WHA Regular season and playoff games....
He played in over 2400 professional hockey games.
It is an astounding achievement....and will never ever be duplicated.
