Bobby Orr effecivly was done at 28...if he had stayed healthy he would have most likely been the ALL_TIME points leader....
Gretzky had 1963 assists
mario had 1723 pts total

Also, on the subject of assists..tbh the only assist that should count as a point is the primary assist. Otherwise why not just count every player who set up the goal?
For example, why settle on simply 2 assists? Say one player has the puck, passes it to his teammate, who passes it to the other forward, then to another..and the last guy pots the puck in the net. All those guys should have gotten credit for a point. It should be assists to every player since the last guy of the opposing team had the puck.
If not, then just give one assist, not two. Who knows how many secondary assists a player recorded. That point stat always got to me.
