Will Marleau get into Hall of Fame?

[WesMcCauley]

497 goals
563 assists
1060 points
1459 games played
2 Olympic gold medals
3 time allstar game

He has had a very long career which will help him but i personally think he is right outside HHOF worthy but only 12 of the 500+ goalscorers arent in HHOF. If Marleau plays a year or two more he can score maybe 40 more goals(give or take) and get close to 550 goals, close to 1150 points etc.
Jagr, Ovechkin, Iginla, Hossa and Selanne(i know he has retired but its just a few years ago so included him) are among those 12 500+ goalscorers.

Does he make it?

[Claypool]

Not likely. Plenty of better players ahead of him and he never won anything.

 

[hoyster]

I would say no. Great career but not HOF worthy. I would rate him a tier below Hossa and I would rate him as a borderline HOFer.

 

[Kale Hulls]

Turgeon never made it, so its pretty unlikely.

Also, has anybody ever had as quietly a successful career as Marleau?

 

[sr edler]

No, he never stood out as an elite player.

What's the point with having a Hall of Fame if we're gonna put in every one with good accumulated numbers?

 

[Karl Eriksson]

I think he does. Not first ballot, but eventually.

You forgot his 4 goal game against the Colorado Avalanche on January 23rd, 2017.

lol pretty sure they are a part of his 497 goals.

 

[Maurice Del Taco]

Eventually he will I think. Still has some quality hockey left in the tank

Great career, but not HOF worthy. IMO, would never have been considered one of the best of his generation. Longevity, health and star level skills allowed for great career numbers for his era, but never was a top 10 forward in any given year IMO.

 

[kmad]

Nope. Couldn't manage to put up first line numbers until he had Thornton on the same team, taking pressure off him.

Marleau's MVP voting record: 9th, 17th, 21st, 23rd, 26th.

No hardware, no post-season all-star teams.

 

[dr robbie]

Not likely. Hall of Very Good candidate.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Nope, he's in the Hall of Very Good as mentioned by others. Nothing on his resume qualifies him to be in the hall of fame.

 

[SPF6ty9]

Oh god, I read that as will Marner get into the Hall of Fame at first

No, I don't think so for Marleau. Good but not great. Only hit 80 points twice and has just been consistently a good player over the past almost 20 years.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Nope. Hall of very good. Your standard compiler

I think his got a
chance, but I havent analysed his potential competition, what other names will be inducted before him?

Guess he got a bit of a lack of NHL awards, 500+ goals in this era is very good. He got a chance.

 

[AVsTimeOut]

Hall of Very Good.

 

[Unspecified]

Not likely. Plenty of better players ahead of him and he never won anything.

Like Sundin?

 

[Plural]

Not likely. He just simply lacks the elite seasons. Hall of good.

 

[Barrie22]

Like Sundin?

Difference being sundin 1349 points in 1346 games.

Marleau 1060 points in 1459 games.

That is a drastic difference.

Sundin 10 point per game seasons. Highest being 114 points in 82 games.

Marleau 3 point per game seasons. Highest being 86 points in 82 games.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Doubt it. Hall of Famer definitely isn't something you think of when you think of Marleau.

Granted, his career numbers are better than I thought they were. He has (quietly) put together quite the career.

 

[glovesave_35]

Doesn't strike me as a HOF'er.

 

[OverTheLine]

He'll get in on a quiet year.

Has a nice resume and did much of it in the dead puck era but probably won't be enough, especially with the players that will be retiring around the same time. Unfortunately the issue is clouded when guys like Bernie Federko and Clark Gillies are in the hall but others are being left out.

As for those you listed, they aren't in because they just can't be yet. They are guarantees so there are very few 500 goal scorers that are not. Until Dave Andreychuk gets in, Marleau shouldn't.

hall of excellent career. not of fame though
