Dude has over 50 career fights, what are you talking about? Fluke year, but 20th in goal scoring over the entire NHL in the last 15 years? Come on, at least come armed with facts.
Is Corey Perry HOF worthy?

lol people use the same gold medal arguments for Crosby. Can apply to Perry too.He was born in Canada. Cool. Don’t get it wrong. Canada is the best at hockey. But merely being on a stacked time by virtue of birthplace is enough?
That’s cool. Solid arguments.Go Canada!!!
If he wasn’t good they wouldn’t put him on the team with the greatest athletes from the sport.

It’s generous of you to equate Perry and Crosby. Nice argument.

Because Canada hasn’t won a cup in decades, they need to pretend international tournaments matter.

Hall of the Very Good... and Very Dirty.
The Hall Glenn Anderson should be in too, instead of the HoF.

As much as I always loathed Perry.... He was never an Avery.

Just getting a Hart trophy is borderline enough to get you in considering all the lesser players in the Hall.

This is true, very few Hart winners don't make it to the Hall - which is why I think he'll make it because of his one stand out year even though he's a very borderline player overall. And I still hate him.
Taylor Hall is another guy with the one fluke year but I think he might be one of the few Hart winners that don't make it because he has even less outside that year than Perry does.

Thank You 59.
If Gary Bettman can induct himself into the Hall of Fame without anyone stopping him I wouldn't be surprised if anyother Joe Rando makes it in now at this point.

That is not how that works.
Of course he played those games and got those points (lackluster scoring rate btw), but when you talk about his career totals regular season is always the baseline presumption unless specified.
Postseason is a separate set. This is how these conversations work in all (american) sports.
A few threads down is the “marchand gets 900” thread. Marchand has *much* better playoff numbers than Perry. Nobody said “nuh uh he has been over 1000 for a while now” because, again, that is not how that works.

I'd say as a player he shouldn't, but he's got all the accolades you need to get in. I'll say he does.

When he and Getzlaf were in their primes and killing it on the Ducks, I thought Perry was a shoe-in. He's since had less stellar seasons, but it's hard for me to go back on my initial assessment from back then.

Ken Linseman maybe? Might be as close as anyone. Like Perry, he had 1 Cup, but played in the postseason a lot. Put up good but not great numbers. Was a rat on the ice, literally had the nickname "Rat" Linseman.
As for Perry, I think he might be that kind of guy that checks off a lot of boxes that the Hall of Fame committee likes. I just don't think he had enough elite seasons to get by though. It is strange because you figure he was a guy who could still put up good years in his 30s but he didn't for some reason. After 2016 he didn't seem like the same type of player. Still serviceable, but not in a dangerous offensive way. Probably should have done more in his 20s in order to get a spot confirmed in, but my guess is they'll look at certain other aspects to his career. He was always on Team Canada, he always played well, he probably is the type of player whose value isn't always on the scoresheet. He had a knack of playing big in big games. He has the Hart trophy, plus a 50 goal season. Not to mention he is at 196 playoff games. He'll get over 200 this year. Should that matter? I don't think so, but there aren't plenty of guys who played in 200 or more playoff games. 23 in total. And out of those 23, Mike Keane, Claude Lemieux and Kris Draper are the only ones not in the Hall of Fame. Kevin Lowe shouldn't be in, but he is, and others like Chara and Jagr are expected to make it (honestly, who thought Chara had played in that many playoff games?)
So I think there are those intangibles that will pay off for Perry that the committee will like.

1300 games and 900 points in regular season. The playoffs though certainly add to his resume.
But yes when looking around he probably gets in. Would be something if he also gets a sunset Cup with the Oil.
