None of the stats are purely comparable to anything else which makes them effectively meaningless, but a bit of fun.
Frankly you just have to find what you're comfortable with and go from there. For instance, all else aside I would pose that the best Pure Goal Scorer the NHL has ever seen is likely Ovechkin regardless of what all the historical stats might indicate.

Ovechkin goals per season: 46
Gretzky goals per season: 42
Mike Bossy goals per season: 57
I might put Bossy up as the greatest goal scorer in the game.
