I don’t have a strong opinion. In my head he seems kind of borderline but I can’t recall based on current standards if I’m off base here. Is he probably getting in or probably out?
Yes, unquestionably. Backstrom will probably amass 1200 pts with his prime in a mini DPE.I don’t have a strong opinion. In my head he seems kind of borderline but I can’t recall based on current standards if I’m off base here. Is he probably getting in or probably out?
He finished top 10 a couple timesHe'll get in even though there was probably never a year in his career where he was considered one of the best at his position
What is his highest Hart voting? I know he's never even been close to being nominated for it, but did he ever finish Top 5 even once?
yeah looks like his highest Hart voting is 9th and it happened 2 times.He finished top 10 a couple times
They should have changed the name after they let Dino Ciccarelli in to be fair.Yes, and then the name should be changed to the hall of very good.
That might make sense if it was named the hall of great. It’s the hall of fame.Yes, and then the name should be changed to the hall of very good.
He finished top 10 a couple times
source? hockeyref says he only got Hart votes in 2010 & 2017. both times 9th in voting. no top 5 finishesFinished top 10 5 times, top 5 (both 4th) twice.
Seems pretty weak tbh.

That was Niklas BackstromGreat goalie at his peak, wouldn't say hall of famer.
Yea, Nick though should be.
Being a 1C and never even reaching top 5 in Hart voting a single time in your career is no good.
Is there a source that says backstrom has asked the media not to vote for him for the hart trophy?No good? In the run of his career only Ovechkin, Crosby, Malkin and Kane have scored more than him. He leads in assists. He's no good?
Oh, one more thing. Trophy voting and all star and such are built on major pr campaigns from the teams. You know this. You may not know that Backstrom tells the team not to do that for him. He turns down all star games. He doesnt want the attention.
Giroux probably needs a cup or 1100 points.if he's in, Giroux's in tbh
