Years ago there was a statistical study looking at players who played in the NHL immediately before or after playing in the WHA, and comparing the numbers, it put the value of a WHA point at about 2/3rds the value of a NHL point. So that would put Bobby Hull's total above Howe but below Gretzky.
The other unknown is how long he would play in the NHL. Hull said that he was considering retirement before Hedberg and Nilsson arrived and rekindled his passion for the game. Would he have stuck around on a mediocre late-70s Chicago team?
