Crosby does have a chance to become #2 all time in adjusted assists, and that is immensely impressive - especially for a player with 662 adjusted goals.

Regardless, the all-time goals record is a higher achievement.

Goals is the better individual record but if Crosby somehow plays long enough to break Gretzky's assist record, it would be an astounding feat. I.e., it won't happen.

in NHL, the goal record is not even close to the assist record in how difficult it is to achieve, so no, it's not the better individual record.
