203 less games played vs Bourque and only 48 pts behind and almost 800 more penalty minutes as well.
Crazy to think had he been healthy, he could have the lead by over 130+ points more if kept at his 1ppg pace.

Coffey was way more offensive minded (to a fault) plus he played with much more offensive minded teams.
And he played 6 years with some guy who scored 200 points 4 times (and never less than 183), plus a few other good players. Then he goes and plays on a team with another guy who scores 168, 199, 123 (in 59 games), 45 (in 23 games) and 131 (plus a few other good players). Then he goes and joins the first guy (and a few other good players) on a new team. Then he plays with Steve Y, Sergei F and the rest of the stacked Wings. Oh, and then goes and plays with Eric Lindros and Ron Francis to wind up the old career.
Playing from age 19 until 39 doesn't hurt.
