I would say A, A, B. I would assume you'd agree. That favours Lafleur 2 of 3 times. I don't see an overall advantage worth mentioning for either player.
I think this is "frozen in time", so to speak. Ovechkin won't improve on these numbers, so his best 6 seasons are what they are. He's relying on longevity (as BenchBrawl recently said: duplicating an increasingly inferior version of himself season after season) to pass Lafleur, if it's even possible to do it that way.
