CarltonTheBear said:So will Brad Richards be going to the HHOF? I've seen it suggested by quite a few people, but to me he falls right into that "Hall of very good" category of players that I don't think the HHOF was designed for.
932 points in 1126 NHL regular season games, so a ways away from being a PPG player. He only hit the PPG mark (or was very close to it) in 4 of his 16 seasons. Those don't really seem like Hall numbers to me.
2 Stanley Cups and a Conn Smyth seem to be the biggest reasons his supporters are using in this case, but I'm not so sure jumping on the Blackhawks bandwagon really makes someone Hall worthy.
Nik the Trik said:You're right, he's not a PPG player but he played in an era where, in a lot of years, being less than a PPG player could still have you in the top 15 or top 10 in scoring.

Joe S. said:I find it hard to assess any good player's hall of fame worthiness when cam neely is in the hof.
Owen Nolan should be in the hof then especially if you consider the dead puck Era he played in... When taking neely 's numbers into account.
Joe S. said:I still don't think neely should be in the hof. And I don't think Nolan should be in there either.
Coco-puffs said:My point was Nolan is not on Neely's level and shouldn't get the same consideration.

They're a lot closer than you're making it out. If you go to Hockey Reference and use their adjusted scoring then Nolan's best years stack up pretty well with Neely's.
Coco-puffs said:But none come close to 50 goals in 44 games... even "adjusted" he had 45 goals in 49 games that year.
