When Alex Ovechkin signed his five year extension with the Washington Capitals, you had a lot of people with the same thought. It’s time to see if the greatest goal scorer in NHL history (in my opinion at least) can officially become the greatest goal scorer of all time. Ovechkin has, at least, five seasons to score about 160 goals. If you want to be specific he needs 165 goals to become the all time goal king.
When you think Ovechkin and give him five years and “just” 160 goals you have to think that is easily doable.
