Wonderful player.
Definitely belongs in the hall of fame.
Superior to Sellanne who had Kariya at the same time.
Palffys prime he had nothing for talent to play with in NYI and the trap was in full force really hurting smaller players.
Palffy deserves to be held in the same breath as another Islander Mike Bossy since they had similar longevity. One played on one of the best teams of all time and one on the worst. Of course Palffy is more a playmaker than sniper like Bossy.
IF Neely is in HOF despite a short career Palffy belongs in there and I'd probably put Markus Naslund in the Hall too.
Ziggy really had nothing going for him no linemates and he played in the worst possible era. If he broke in 10 years earlier depending the team he was on he might have out pointed Gretzky from the late 80s on. They'd be neck and neck if given equal talent to play with.
Remember being amazed at him and Kariya since Ducks and Isles were a couple of the few games I got to go to live as a kid growing up (I remember all my live Bruins games from my childhood.) They were the best player on the ice I can remember from being frustrated and joining the drunk older guys in yelling 'kill him' when he had the puck.
