It's not a bad list... I'd support eleven of those - Tremblay, Wilson, Middleton, Propp, Larmer, Barrasso, Fleury, Roenick, Joseph, Turgeon, tkachuk.
less so, Martin, Krutov, Smith, Mogilny.
absolutely not, Vernon, Bondra, Kerr, Leach, MacLeish, Moog, Bellows, Verbeek.
Like.... why Bellows? Cause he had 1000 career points? He managed to do that despite placing in the top-30 in scoring just once.
Hey 70’sLord, I hear what yer saying about BELLOWS, that’s why i put him in the 2ns their of guys that i think should maybe have a chance at get nominated to get in, I have followed the board a lot and I agree with a lot of your opinions, sometimes we might not agree but for you to agree on 11 of those players is pretty rad. At least you understand and are not biased on who should get in. That’s the thing, MOST people will want players who are on the team they love rather than think of guys who had skill/points/talent ya know. IF I’m a LEAF fan. Do u think I would want a SUNDIN/GILMOUR in the Hockey Hall of Fame instead of say a “LECLAIR, DAMPHOUSSE” lol, u know what i mean. Most Hockey Fans will choose Players they love/like and/or players that are on the team they cheer for rather than those of their opponents.
Now I can see how RICHARD MARTIN some will say NO too but NEELY played around the same amount of games, that’s why I think his 4 1st/2nd team all star selections in 7 full seasons is remarkable.
How about this, IF Brian Propp had a better/cooler sounding name and didn’t play in the 1980s he would be a God, Because of his 2 WAY PLAY (defensively/offensively) he was more suited for a 1950’s/2000 type era. He excelled at ALL 3 Levels of Hockey (JUNIOR, NHL, INTERNATIONAL), Check Out These STATS/NUMBERS Bro? Talk About Underrated!!!
