I just listed the past 5 inductees...? How is that cherry picking?
And yes, Mullen and Federko deserve to be in the Hall well over Marleau. Did you just pick two names out of a hat that you didn’t recognise?
Federko had 4 100+ point seasons and was over PPG his entire career. One of the truly underrated players of his generation in both the regular season and the playoffs, and it’s a shame it was wasted on a period of shaky ownership for the Blues.
Joey Mullen at his peak was one of the best shooters to ever play the game and was a massive part of two (and a half) Stanley Cup teams, as well as a first team all star.
It's cherrypicking because the names you chose are far from the worst players in the Hall.
Federko and Mullen are among the worst. While Federko's numbers look superficially good to us now, he played in the run-and-gun 80s. Look beyond his raw stats. Not a single award. Never a top-2 team all-star. Not even a third team all-star.
Adjust his numbers and he's OBVIOUSLY worse than Marleau. At least Joe Mullen has the cups and one first-team all-star appearance.
There are at least several players in the HOF worse than Marleau. Apart from the above two, we can name Clark Gillies, Dick Duff, Glenn Anderson, Leo Boivin. Dave Andreychuk, Bill Barber and Lanny McDonald borderline.
