That is a truly massive difference. It means that to measure their accomplishments in equivalent terms. you would have to multiply Ovechkin's totals by 12%. In other words, in Gretzky's era, Ovechkin would be at 999 goals. It's truly amazing that he's so close to breaking the record in the same number of games as Gretzky.

I don't understand how you got those numbers.
My simple way shows
Gretzky has 894 goals in 1487 for 0.6 gpg
Ovechking has 892 goals in 1485 for 0.6 gpg
How did you come about your numbers?
