Only two players with 700 goals don't have 700 assists. Gartner and Hull.
10-15 years from now: Gartner, Hull, and Matthews

Common question asked by people who do not watch the players around Ovechkin routinely fail to convert easy chances for absolutely no reason at all. This was brutally exposed when Ovechkin couldn't find the back of the net in the first half of last season.Interesting that he’s the only player with more goals than assists. I wonder what other players goal scoring totals would be if they focused on goal scoring as much as Ovi.
Either way, it’s an elite list. He’s one of the best of all time.
Yeah absolutely. He is a good passer and his assists totals would be much higher, but how much goal scoring would he sacrifice? Maybe he’s not close to Gretz.You could also invert that statement and wonder how many assists Ovi would have if he had a pass-first mentality. I would imagine he’d be well over 1,000.
Either way, being the greatest goal scorer in the history of the sport is a far more prestigious accomplishment. He will hopefully retire as the sole member of the 900 goal club.
