What do you think, is he a Hall of Famer?

No Norris but 2-time 2nd team All-star , won 3 cups, and by the time he retires should have 600-700 points or more. I feel like he's in the Zubov class of player, but feel free to explain why/why not and what kind of comparables you have for him.

He’s a weird case. He doesn’t have the accolades but I think he’s a Hall of Fame talent and been very underrated at times over the course of his career.

I’d probably vote him in if I was a voter.

And he was a better all round player than Zubov was.

I think he's a no brainer. He was the guy i would have gave the Conn Smythe to for the Penguins 1st of back to back cups. His health issues and playing 3rd fiddle to Crosby and Malkin has led to him being underrated.

He will go down as a player who had a really great career busy doesn’t belong in the HOF.

I wish that hockey would be more like baseball and players need to be voted in.

Too many injuries, that Norris that Subban won would have been his

good player, but no

the last 5 defencemen to be inducted in the HOF

S.Zubov
C.Pronger
N.Lidstrom
P.Housley
R.Blake

I don't think he compares.

I don't think he will get in, but I'm not sure what relevance the last 5 specifically have. Wouldn't it make more sense to look at everyone?

I think he would have been in if he had been more healthy.
