  • NHL: Current Hall of Famers

    So, for whatever reason, I started thinking about this this morning - what current NHL players are true Hall of Famers? I don't mean people that are so good they'll one day qualify, like Ovechkin or Crosby, but rather active players that if they hung up their skates at the end of this season, should get inducted into the Hall.

    I'm thinking...

    Locks:
    Shanahan
    Brodeur
    Chelios
    Jagr
    Sakic
    Hasek
    Lidstrom

    On the bubble:
    Sundin
    Modano
    Selanne
    Roenick
    Recchi
    Joseph

    Agree, disagree? I am missing anyone?

    Sundin I'd disagree with. He's good, but not exceptional, and hasn't really done much in the big picture.

      Granted, he hasn't won any Cups, but his career stats are better than those of Modano or Roenick (who also hasn't won a Cup), for example.

        Roenick is eligible for reasons other than his stats.

        Modano is also the record holder for American-born players, which helps him a lot.

        I guess Sundin was the first Euro first overalll...

          Sundin should get in just because he put up stats on the Maple Leafs...

            I'd suggest Federov, but I'm not sure I'd vote him in. He has pretty good career stats.

              Federov and Bure should be there.

              And you can't ignore Keith Tkachuk. 500 goals for a Left winger is excellent.

                Bure isn't an active player, and hasn't been for several years. He doesn't have the stats or acomplishments anyway (only five really good seasons, huge drop offs after that). Nor does Tkachuk, although he's obviously active. I don't think Fedorov has the stats either, but he does have three Cups, two Selkes, a Hart and a Pearson, plus he was the first Russian to get 1,000 points in the NHL, so that might push him over the top.

                    Bure isn't an active player, and hasn't been for several years. He doesn't have the stats or acomplishments anyway (only five really good seasons, huge drop offs after that).
                    Pavel Bure

                    1. Calder Trophy (Rookie of the year)
                    2. Rocket Richard trophies (2000-2001).. Would have won 3 others if the award were given in his early part of his career.

                    3. 6x NHL all-star.
                    4. 5x 50+ goal seasons.

                    4. GPG of 0.73, behind only Gretzky and Mario.

                    6x All star and 5x 50+ goal seasons should get him in.

                    The other players ahead of him in that statistic are Gretzky, Mario, Bossy, Dionne and Lafleur. Only Gretzky and Bossy have more the 6x 50+ goal seasons.

                    Yeah, his career stats are not up there, but his games played are comparable to Orr.

                      As for Federov, three cups, 2 selkes, 1 hart.

                      He has 471 goals and 1143 points.

                      If he gets another 30 goals and 100 points he'll be in for sure.

                        I like your list of 'locks'. Hard to argue with anyone on that list.

                        As for your bubble? I think there is a huge space between your locks and bubble players. I wouldn't be disappointed if not one on your bubble list made it.

                        Edit: I'd put Niedermayer on the "lock" list.......err, Scott, not Rob

                          You know what, Ben? I may just give you Bure after all. You make some good points (although he would have only one one more Richard trophy if it had been around, not three more), and reflecting back on his career, he was unique. Still, he's not a current player (my original point), and his short career may really hurt him (let's not get nuts and compare him to Orr - a friggin' defenseman who in almost 50 fewer games than Bure put up more than 130 more points)

                            I think Modano and Roenick are definitely in, though clearly on a different tier than the "locks" you listed.

                            I think Bure and Federov are also likely in.
