8 years technically having played his last game with the Wings in 71 and then rejoining the league in the 1979-1980 season.
But his last season before retirement (then WHA) was 52 points in 63 games. Even if he averaged 60 points in those 8 years, he would still be quite far from Gretzky.
EDIT: We talking goals, I'm an idiot.
