I'd say now's a good time to revisit this conversation. Zetterberg is eligible for next year's hall class, and could get in. So my question is: Will he?
Let's review his accolades:
1x Stanley Cup
1x Conn Smythe
1x All-Star
1x King Clancy
1x Olympic Gold
1x Olympic Silver
1x WC Gold
1x WC Silver
2x WC Bronze
Triple Gold Club
960 points in 1082 games
120 points in 137 playoff games
Calder runner-up
5 consecutive top 10 Selke finishes
Long time Captain of an Original Six team
But there are things that hurt his chances. For one, he never won a major personal scoring trophy. He also has less than 500 goals and less than 1000 points, even though he was nearly .9 points per game in his career. Never won a Selke, even though he was a premier defensive forward, though he should have won it in 2008, imo. I also think Hossa getting in helps his chances.
For context, the Sedins are both eligible next year as well.
So what says all of you?
