What NHL record, often called the most unbreakable in sports, is Wayne Gretzky's career points total?

Wayne Gretzky's 2,857 career points are so far ahead of the next closest player that even if you removed all 894 of his goals, his assists alone would still make him the all-time NHL points leader. This staggering record is widely considered untouchable in modern hockey because the style of play has shifted toward defensive systems that limit scoring. Gretzky's dominance earned him the nickname "The Great (Review) One" and he remains the standard against which all ice hockey (Deals) players are measured.
