I know the longevity thing is important... and Gretzky owns almost all the records, but I'm going to have to agree with Shunt on this. You can't say who the greatest is because of equipment technology, size of players, goalies have changed... it should be the greatest players of each generation or who dominated while they played. Gretzky dominated for most of his career... most. You can't say he was doing all that great when he was a Ranger. He was good... he wasn't great.
If you are talking generation or time period ... Mario and Wayne played at pretty much the same time. Their period of dominance was pretty much around the same time. Gretzky averaged nearly 2 points a game for his CAREER.
Even when Gretz played for the Rangers he still was close to 2 100 pt seasons. Granted his last year wasn't great, but whos retirement year is? And i am pretty sure Mario had to retire when Wayne was a Ranger.
