He would have to surpass Gretz in either points or cup rings.
Even JUST Oilers points, Gretz had 1669 meaning McDavid would have to pass Joe Sakic for 9th alltime at 1641.

I don't think McDavid would have to match Gretzky's point totals. The 80s were a far easier period for scoring. It would be a fun raw number / analytics / eye test debate arguing if the 215 in 1986 is more impressive than 158 in 2023.

I know that there are guys out there that have built more robust era adjustment models, but a simple comparison is that McDavid is currently 29% better in terms of points than the 2nd highest player (who also benefits from playing on a PP with McDavid).
Gretzky in 1986 had 52% more points than 2nd place (Mario).
McDavid is undoubtedly the best skater I've ever seen and has an ability to do things at top speed that no other player, probably ever, can do. But I think Gretzky's ability to put up points remains in a stratosphere of it's own, regardless of era.
Oilers Goal Differential
17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
18/19: 232 GF / 274 GA (-42)
19/20 (82 game pace): 257 GF / 254 GA (+3) in 64 games
2021 (82 game pace):269 GF / 235 GA (+34) after 38 games
