Gretzky is being modest. I think a young Gretzky playing today still puts up 200+ point seasons. He’s the greatest team athlete of the 20th century. Yes better that Jordan, Ruth and others. His 160 assist season is insane.

The players now have carbon composite sticks and probably getting an additional 20% velocity on their shots. I’m not completely sold that todays players are playing at a disadvantage than they were back when they were using heavy wood sticks.

McDavid is putting up young Gretzky like numbers now in the playoffs. My point is why he’s not putting up the same numbers regular season. Remember in the playoffs you’re competing against the best teams and McDavid running away with points now.

His ppg playoff scoring is white hot but it’s puzzling why he doesn’t put up Gretzky like regular season numbers.
