Second in all time goals.
The longevity and capability should not warrant that response from even the most prominent homers on the site

Only two players with 700 goals don't have 700 assists. Gartner and Hull.

He has only about 100 fewer assists than Malkin... while having more than 300 more goals.

I'm not saying anything is wrong with it. Guess I just never paid attention to his assist numbers, and thought even the best goal scorers generally have more assists than goals.
Just surprised me

That is due to games played/injuries for Malkin
Malkin: 1149 games : 499 goals, 804 assists = 36 goals and 57 assists per 82 for his career with majority of it being in low scoring period (2008-2018)
OV; 1428 games (counting tonight): 853 goals, 700 assists = 49 goals and 40 assist per 82 for his career with majority of it being in low scoring period (2008-2018)
OV is the greater player all time due to crazy 3-year peak+goal scoring prime & logenvity but Malkin is an all-time great hurt by injuries and low scoring league/linemates impacting his assist totals.
Malkin is pretty significantly a better overall passer+playmaker than OV just like OV is for goal scoring vs Malkin
They are the 2 clear cut best Russian careers in the NHL (old legends from Russia who came in late 20s and 30s not as good NHLers as these two)
How are some people saying he’s not top 10 all time is beyond me

incredible feat especially for how physical he was.

He is comically overrated at this point.
A flashier Brett Hull who cherry picks in obvious defensive situations to pad his stats.
He scores a ton and so does the other team while he’s out there.
Not saying he isn’t an all time great.
But I could easily think of 20 guys who would help you more in a must win game 7.

OV is 8th to 15th all time depending on what you value and if you co sider current era stars a higer level than older /pre expansion
There arent 20 guys to help win a game 7 more than him for all time legends. And that is ignoring that in his prime he could be a guy to score and create to get to that game 6 or 7
I have him 10th all time personally even if he doesmt score another goal ever and he is the clear cut GOAT goal scorer for me already

yes, he was incredibly physical, incredibly productive, and incredibly durable.
The only player with 700/700 and 3500+ hits

His one of the most secondary assistant is himself. About 100. All of them were not counted.
