And if Ovechkin does set the mark, will you consider him the greatest goal scorer in history based on sheer numbers alone, or is there an argument still to be made for Gretzky?

I doubt he will reach #1 in these two categories. Current top ten in GC and GC/A:

code:
Player		Years	Goals Created
Wayne Gretzky	1979-99	1018.37
Gordie Howe	1946-80	747.01
Jaromir Jagr	1990-18	717.53
Mark Messier	1979-04	703.78
Marcel Dionne	1971-89	684.08
Steve Yzerman	1983-06	665.79
Mario Lemieux	1984-06	649.71
Ron Francis	1981-04	634.65
Phil Esposito	1963-81	629.66
Joe Sakic	1988-09	611.28


Player		Years	Adjusted Goals Created
Wayne Gretzky	1979-99	881.74
Gordie Howe	1946-80	849.56
Jaromir Jagr	1990-18	796.62
Mark Messier	1979-04	643.63
Joe Sakic	1988-09	633.27
Teemu Selanne	1992-14	628.91
Steve Yzerman	1983-06	625.66
Ron Francis	1981-04	607.89
Alex Ovechkin	2005-20	604.38
Phil Esposito	1963-81	594.26
GC = (Goals + (Assists * 0.5)) * (Team Goals / (Team Goals + (Team Assists * 0.5)))

Who cares about assists? What are you Adam Oates? Ovechkin score goals

What do you mean? I find it at least noteworthy that Wayne Gretzky has 700+ more assists than anyone else.
