The stats don't lie, Gretzky had the better overall numbers.

Gretzky
1,487 Games Played
894 Goals
1,963 Assists
2,857 Points
1.9 Points per game.

Lemiuex
915 Games Played
690 Goals
1033 Assists
1723 Points
1.88 Points per game.

There are other factors to consider.
Health. Numerous players have had there careers cut shot or never were able to reach full potential because of injury or other health issues. Cam Neely, Bobby Orr...Mario Lemiuex.
Team mates: If Stamkos plays with someone like Gillies or Belak instead of St Louis....he doesn't get as many points. Gretzky had the superior team for a long time. Messier, Kurri, Fuhr, Coffey..etc.

So, imagine this impossible situation for conversation and debate sake.

Having Gretzky vs Lemiuex Stanley Cup finals. 7 game series. Identical teams(clones maybe?)

Who wins the series?
