Bondra.

But I could be convinced otherwise, I think.

Pretty easy Ovechkin. Raw/adjusted stats are pretty much identical, only difference being that Ovechkin's goals were easily better relative to his peers than Bondra.

Ovechkin	32​			Bondra	34​
#2	29​	10%​		#2	32​	6%​
#3	28​	14%​		#3	30​	13%​
#5	23​	39%​		#5	30​	13%​
#10	21​	52%​		#10	26​	31%​
#20	18​	78%​		#20	22​	55%​

Took Bondra as Ovi really feasted on one weak division and the other 2 divisions not so much.

Bondra, beat very strong competition that year despite not benefiting of particularly strong linemates. Was at least goal-per-game against 38.5 % of the teams he played against.
