https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_NHL_players_with_500_goals

Since this page is a list of players who have reached the 500 goals plateau, it should be in chronological order. For those who want the list ranked by number of goals, there is a page for that, it is called «List of NHL statistical leaders» : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NHL_statistical_leaders IMartien ( talk )

I believe there is a place for another section in this page : the evolution of the number of games needed to achieve the 500 goals milestone. It would simply go like this:

863 games — 19 October 1957 — Maurice Richard
861 games — 21 February 1970 — Bobby Hull
803 games — 22 December 1974 — Phil Esposito
647 games — 2 January 1986 — Mike Bossy
575 games — 22 November 1986 — Wayne Gretzky
