His odds are about the same as Marc Bergevin getting nominated in the builders category.
Maybe better. He hasn't fucked up yet.

His last 5 years have been crazy good. First or second team all star 4 times, top 11 in MVP voting every single year:

The thing is that he is not slowing down. He has not slowed down at all at the age of 31, 32 and now at 33. He probably has at least another 3 solid years in him to get some of those counting stats up.

He is a clown prick though but that won’t keep him out.
Yeah, Marchand is a top 15 player (maybe even higher) in the league. He can score, play a two-way game and gets under the skin of opponents. Statistically, he shines. I won't say he's a lock, but I think he has a pretty good chance of getting the call.

They're going to need some extra bronze for his bust to make sure that they get the nose right.

There is that but also Larmer had more goals and points in both regular season and playoffs, won an individual trophy and played in two all star games which Gillies did neither...Gillies did win 4 Stanley Cups but Larmer did win one.

When you think of it, Larmer had a much better career...
Gillies was a very good player for the Isles and an instrumental part of their 4 Stanley Cups. But Larmer was a far more skilled and talented player than him. Just look at their career regular season point totals, there's really no comparison.
Larmer 1,012 points in 1,006 games played
Gillies 697 points in 958 games played

Larmer is probably one of the best hockey players not in the HOF.

Gillies' size and aggressiveness opened up a lot of ice for Trottier and especially Bossy. The 3 complemented each other perfectly. He played a very different game than Larmer.

Gillies was replaced on the Trottier/Bossy line halfway thru the cup years with John Tonelli...Clark Gillies became a slow ineffective player.

In this woke era they have to make room for women. I get that and to be honest I enjoy the international games against the Americans.

The CDN women always play with so much effort and pride. It's back and forth action usually from start to finish.

But I don't think that if you add a woman that should mean that a NHL player should have what would have been his spot taken.

Just make allowances for more inductees.

Of course, my suggestion would be to take out the players who don’t belong and replace them with more deserving inductees...can you think of anybody that should get whacked?

If you want to argue that Federko is better than Nicholls I’ll buy the argument. That is more than fair. He was also the face of a franchise for an extended period that Bernie was not.

Not sure if you are claiming that Federko was great and did not need others to be great. I would say neither was ever great.

I don’t think either met the low threshold of the hall of fame but agreed that if I have to pick one it is certainly Federko.
I have a buddy that played jr in Kingston with Bernie Nichols...told me he got fucked every night, some times before and after a game, on the road too...just thought I’d share that little bit of info for fun.

Did anybody mention Phil Kessel? He's 34 and should reach 1,000 points next season. He could end out with about 1,100-1,200 points.

Has anybody not made the HoF with 1,200 points?

The answer is Turgeon, Nicholls, Damphousse and Roenick...and I like all them for the HOF than Phil fucking Kessell.
