I don’t know either of the records, but I chose Wilt because rebounds in basketball are much more common than points in hockey
Some context, then:
Wilt played 14 seasons (I got this wrong on the pod) and grabbed 28000 rebounds for an average of 2000 rebounds per season. In the 21st century, no player has even tallied 1500 rebounds in a single season.
Gretzky played 21 seasons, totaling 2857 points. The runner-up didn't even crack 2000 career points, despite playing for 29 seasons. The nearest active players are nearing retirement with about 1600 points each.
