Without a doubt. The mass expansion really diluted the league. Some defensemen seemed to have just graduated from wearing double runner skates compared to the players in Ovechkin's time in the league. That is before you bring in the goalie equipment.
For me without a doubt he will be the GOAT for goal scoring when all is said and done. I just hope he gets to 895 so there is no argument, because you know there will be one from up north.
