Is Corey Perry HOF worthy?

[ORRFForever]

Stanley Cup Champion
Memorial Cup Champion
Olympic Gold 2x
World Juniors Gold
World Championship Gold
World Cup Of Hockey Champion
Hart Trophy and Rocket Richard Trophy

Pretty impressive career that most NHL players can only dream of. But is it enough to get into the Hall?

Don't forget his wonderful personality. Players on other teams love him!!!

 

[CokenoPepsi]

The hall is certainly far too weak to get into for sure.

We include national team achievements because of how good you have to be to even make the Canadian national team.

In 2010, 2014 and 2016, Canada took fewer than 5 natural wingers, and that went down with each tournament.

Perry made all three teams.

You are the greatest.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Without question.

 

[Weztex]

Sundin and Lowe are in

That's a weird argument since a) Sundin was a better player than Perry and b) There's a lot of better players than Lowe who aren't in.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I answered ‘yes’ earlier but his numbers aren’t what I thought they were. I’m changing my vote. No he doesn’t make it. Solid player with a cup win but it’s not enough.

 

[General Fanager]

Of course he is a lock to get in.

He is a rare member of the gold club.

2 Olympic gold
world championship gold
world juniors gold
world cup gold

He also has a Stanley Cup, Hart and Rocket.
Reg Season career .73 PPG
Playoffs career 0.65 PPG




Haters gonna hate.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Sundin and Lowe are in

Mats Sundin: 1346 GP, 564 goals, 785 assists and 1349 points. A career PPG player and a real star player.
Corey Perry: 1168 GP, 403 goals, 451 assists and 854 points. The only thing Perry is PPG in is penalty minutes (1276 PIM).

They are not the same. What Kevin Lowe is doing in the hall of fame is a very good question though. As for the thread in hand, no, I have no idea why Corey Perry should be in the HOF. He's had a good career but his peak was too short. The hall of very good is for players like Perry.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

First ballot lock

 

[Stickpucker]

Getting in to the NHL Hall of Fame is basically the equivalent of the WWE Hall of Fame. They let anyone in. So yeah, he'll get in eventually.

Not Rod Brindamour.

 

[hamzarocks]

Perry isn't even good enough for the Hall of very good for borderline guys

He's just a good player. He was a 60-70 point player most of his career.

He should have no chance at the hall of fame.

A guy like Gaudreau for instance has had a better career than him already outside of playoffs at the NHL level and he's not really talked as a hall of famer by most

 

[Mattb124]

Are we talking the Hockey Hall of Fame or the NHL Hall of Fame? He wouldn’t make the latter (if it existed) but I think he is a lock for the former due to his accomplishments outside the NHL.

There's 6 1st ballot locks from that age group - Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin, P. Kane, Keith, Bergeron and 4 more that are right behind them in Kopitar, Doughty, Toews and Stamkos.
That's 10 guys already -

Perry, Getzlaf, E. Staal, Giroux, Backstrom, Kessel, Marchand, Karlsson, Weber, Letang, MAF, Price, Rask (I'm sure I'm forgetting a few) - and guys that will be on the outside but might muddy the water like Burns, Suter, Pavelski, Giordano, etc.

Where's that line? Do you just add a couple of those guys or near all of them?
Perry's resume is as good as anyone in that group but it's going to be a major debate amongst which of those players make it in, who waits, who's fast-tracked - but that's a razor-thin margin.

 

[North Cole]

He has a Hart and then a bunch of winning, so yes, I would say he does. Very few players don't get in with a Hart. Not being 1K points probably hurts a little, but 400 goals is not insignificant.

 

[HanSolo]

I don't understand everyone's fixation with trophies when it comes to saying no way someone gets into the Hall. They let in four players every year. Through Perry's career there have been

11 Hart winners (Thornton, Ovechkin, Crosby, Malkin, Sedin, Kane, Price, Hall, Kucherov, Draisaitl, Perry) (you can fit the last 16 years worth of Hart winners in three HOF classes)

10 Lindsay winners (Jagr, Crosby, Ovechkin, Sedin, Malkin, Price, Kane, McDavid, Kucherov, Draisaitl)
(same, three HOF classes to fit in the last 16 years of trophy winners

8 Rocket Richard winners (Cheechoo, Lecavalier, Ovechkin, Crosby, Stamkos, Perry, Pastrnak, Matthews)

11 Norris winners (Lidstrom, Chara, Keith, Karlsson, Subban, Doughty, Burns, Hedman, Giordano, Josi, Fox)

So if we're just looking at skaters with major regular season trophy winners, you can fit every single one into the HOF in around 8 years, then you're left with Vezina and Conn Smythe trophy winners, the latter of which will have some overlap.

People seem to forget that in a ten year period they let in fourty players to the HHOF. Yet people seem to think that only the very best of the best borderline generational talents should get in.

I'd say there's a decent enough case to be made that Perry is borderline and not first ballot based on his short peak, but for anyone saying there's no f***ing way, they're out to lunch.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Perry putting together another solid playoffs as a role player...he getting in for sure

 

[kerrabria]

Stanley Cup Champion
Memorial Cup Champion
Olympic Gold 2x
World Juniors Gold
World Championship Gold
World Cup Of Hockey Champion
Hart Trophy and Rocket Richard Trophy

Pretty impressive career that most NHL players can only dream of. But is it enough to get into the Hall?

He's also 55th all time in playoff GP and 73rd all time in playoff goals.
His resume is HHOF in my opinion.

 

[rogking65]

First ballot lock

did you read earlier post. Only 3 times has he placed in top 30,yes top THIRTY in scoring. Does not even deserve to be on ballot

 

[GoldenSeal]

OHL HOF (if such a thing exists), they should just erect a statue to him. Absolute lock for that.
NHL HOF... maybe.

His personal numbers are really damn good lifetime, better than people are underplaying, and he has a Hart, a Rocket and a Cup. I can absolutely see arguments both ways but to be fair, I doubt he gets in or even balloted.

I won't lose sleep if he does or doesn't though and that Cup with the Ducks is a pretty damn special thing on its own. If he does get enshrined it's absolutely as a Duck.

did you read earlier post. Only 3 times has he placed in top 30,yes top THIRTY in scoring. Does not even deserve to be on ballot

Do the math on his lifetime numbers and they're still really damn good.

 

[Coffey]

People mentioning all these championships like he was a huge part of them. Not even a PPG in any of them. Passenger all the way.

Career playoffs - 108p in 167g
International - 30p in 44g

 

[Arselona]

No he isn't when Roenick's not in.

 

[Holymakinaw]

Stanley Cup Champion
Memorial Cup Champion
Olympic Gold 2x
World Juniors Gold
World Championship Gold
World Cup Of Hockey Champion
Hart Trophy and Rocket Richard Trophy

Pretty impressive career that most NHL players can only dream of. But is it enough to get into the Hall?

This is a tough one for me. Yes, he won a cup and a Hart and a Rocket. That counts for a lot. But he never had a 100 point season, and in fact only had two 80+ point seasons his entire career. That's not that good. He had two good goal-scoring seasons(43 & 50) but not much else that's noteworthy. He also only has 858 points. I dunno........I feel the HHOF should demand more.

Alfredsson 8 times as well. Not in the HHoF.

He never really did that anything noteworthy in his entire career. Hall of 'Good' for him.

 

[AHockeyFanatic]

I have no doubt that Perry will be inducted into the Hall (because his resume superficially checks a lot of boxes). But here's a fun stat - the number of times each player placed higher than 30th in scoring:

- 10 times - John Tavares
- 9 times - Eric Staal
- 8 times - Ryan Getzlaf, Nicklas Backstrom, Keith Tkachuk, Claude Giroux, Jeremy Roenick
- 7 times - Blake Wheeler, Ray Whitney, Vincent Damphousse, Bernie Nicholls, Tyler Seguin, Jason Spezza
- 6 times - Phil Kessel, Ilya Kovalchuk, Dany Heatley, Joe Pavelski, Doug Weight
- 5 times - Markus Naslund, Jamie Benn, Vincent Lecavalier, Patrick Marleau, Rod Brind'Amour, Brad Richards
- 4 times - Jason Allison, Alex Tanguay, Thomas Vanek, Pavol Demitra, Kirk Muller, Rick Nash, Tony Amonte, Marian Gaborik, Milan Hejduk
- 3 times - Corry Perry

Of course, there's more to hockey than regular season scoring stats. At the same time, it doesn't exactly scream "Hall of Famer" for someone who ranks behind all of the above players by this metric.

You answered your own question in your own post, its like you discredited your own argument.

Perry is HOF worthy he and Getzlaf carried those Duck teams for 10 years.

There are players who have made it with less.
