Posted this in a thread in NHL talk. But it is more appropriate here.
These are the players I think that are good enough to be in a Hall of Very Good players. Players that were great but fall below the Hall of Fame. Some players in the Hall of Fame would better fit in this category like for instance Bob Pulford, Leo Boiven and Clark Gilles.
It is a comprensive list from 1917 to date and includes active players later in their careers as well. I didn't do goalies yet. They are in alphabetical order. Did I miss anyone or do I have players you think don't belong? The guys I have picked that I think will go in the Hall of Fame are at the end.
