Which Current NHL Players Have Already Had HOF Careers? 

Malkin is in the HOF if he retires tomorrow. 2 art Ross 2 Teds a hart a con smythe always a point a game and 3 cups

Chara and Patrice Bergeron should be on this list imo.

As a life long Fleury fan it stinks to see Ryan Miller at this point in his career wasted. He was SUCH a good goalie and use to steal games for Buffalo all the time. Miller was a better Goalie than Fleury but he just never had a team past 2007-08. It really stinks to see guys like him wasted.

I think personally if you think Kane, Toews and the Sedin twins are locks, I'd say Getzlaf is a lock too. 2 Olympic gold 1 Stanley cup (so far) lead his team in playoff scoring the year they won the cup too. Over 800 career points so far and 118 pts in 121 playoff games. Also, maybe the 2nd best setup man of this era behind Thornton. I think that warrants a HOF induction.

Bergy has 4 Selke trophies.....isn't that enough?

I'm so happy this channel is growing so quickly. I remember when i found this channel back in January have watched every video since. Congrats on your success.

Love ur channel! U deserve all the growth on ur channel! I've learned so much!

What about Pekka Rinne? He's just too good right now.

I'd include Hossa and Chara

No Marleau?

How many more years does Price have to carry the Habs for him to get into the HOF?

Jagr is on here for sure, same with a lot of the pens boys. Possibly Chara and Price.

what about Big Z Chara

I love this channel, I feel like it's a hockey history class

JOHN SCOTT?!?! how the hell can you leave that man out of this list?! INSULTING

I have a lot of respect for this list. Nice vid!

Patrick Marleau?

I think that Chara will be inducted eventually, due to the leagues fear of him, being one of the few European captains to win a stanley cup, and his very impressive stats/norris. Also Bergeron will definately be first ballot with one or two more selkes imo.

Lundqvist fastest to 400 wins in terms of games played

What about Big Z? Seems like he's more than deserving..

Crosby Malkin Ovechkin Jagr Iginla Thornton Kane Toews Keith Bergeron Chara Luongo Kopitar Doughty Sedins Lundqvist Zetterberg Datsyuk This is just off the top of my head Guys who could make it eventually as career goes on in no particular order: Karlsson Tavares Stamkos Backstrom Price Quick Fleury/Murray if he turns out McDavid* (Not gonna list any youngsters yet but this is a safe bet) Subban Getzlaf Perry Marleau Coaches: Babs, Quenneville, Julien, Sutter, Hitchcock

even a year later, this vid still holds up. I enjoy these kinds of vids rather than the daily stuff because i can go back and rewatch them

One year ago you were 900 away from 16000 subscribers? Your channel has grown so much and it's well deserved!

you forgot about Patrick Marleau

Fantastic idea for a video.

Mcdavid :D not enough evidence, but everyone knows its happening lol

Peter Lavillette? Took the preds to the finals. Took the Flyers to the finals after being down 3-0 in series against Boston in the conference finals AND won the cup with CAROLINA. He's gotta get a mention. He's very good.

OK, so before I get to my obvious omissions, I'll mention a guy whose name isn't synonymous with the LAK, and that's Vinny Lecavalier. At least he retired as a King. And do you not see him as a first ballot lock?

Im not whining or anything im just asking a question what do you think about the next level down guys like phil Kessel and what do you think they have to do to get into the hof

As a Sens fan this may be a little biased, but honestly, his legacy could be lasting on the league for a long time. Teams are already starting to value puck moving defenseman (Guys like Makar going high in the draft are proof). Before he came in, the whole league as in a fuss about how you need to be big to be a successful defender and he's completely turned that around and I think going forward, teams will be building around skill > size solely because people are waking up to how important a defenseman who can score can be.

Glad to see you included Ovechkin in there. He is the best goal scorer of the modern generation no doubt. Although he doesn't have a cup (yet), he deserves to be in the HOF.

When are you getting your new International jerseys?

Glad you said Hank, Pavel is without question

I think Peter Laviolette is a HOF coach to me. He's has a Stanley cup as a head coach and has had a great NHL coaching career.

Not to take away from Duncan Keith (913 GP .513P/GP 3 cups). But to include him you also should give consideration to Weber (841 GP .577 P/GP), Chara (1300 GP and 1 cup), Burns(879 GP .567 P/GP) and Letang (603 GP ,640 P/GP and 3 cups). Karlsson is the #1 active Dman and a no brainer

"Tane and Keows" xD

Your cat looks like a Penguins fan👍

Eric Staal? He might not reach 1000 points, but I still think he's HOF worthy. He's also got a Stanley Cup to his name

Patrick Kane can not stop being good even when he gets older he just keeps playing well and keeps putting up records and even when the Blackhawks got blown out he plays well

Hossa should be in it

Karlsson is a BEAST

If you put Ovechkin on there I would say Nicklas Backstrom is pretty damn close behind him if not already there.

Getzlaf is an interesting pick . I hadn't considered him H OF, but why Not? Extremely talented, tough to play against.

No arguments from me on any of those. Even the question marks sound fair. Good work.

I think Bergeron is a hall of famer for sure. You're right, maybe not right away but I think he's in. He racks up on Selkes, the best defensive forward in the NHL who gets good amount of points every year, and has a Stanley cup (who was also a major factor in the Stanley cup playoffs that season)

I like your list for the most part. Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin, Jagr and Thornton are first ballot shoe-ins. No questions asked. I also think the three Blackhawks you mentioned deserve to be in on the first ballot. I also think Zdeno Chara deserves serious consideration: Stanley Cup Champion, Norris Trophy winner, one of the most feared players ever, playing over 20 minutes a game well into his 40s, still a captain. I think some L.A. Kings also need to be considered. I wouldn't induct Brown, Carter or Richards, as good as particularly Brown is, but I would seriously consider Anze Kopitar and particularly Drew Doughty (at the rate Doughty has gone in his career, he's definitely HoF material). I'd give some consideration to Jonathan Quick as well. Corey Perry deserves consideration if Getzlaf does too. And Carey Price of course deserves to be considered.

What about general managers?

Sure HOF's: kopitar, doughty, quick, getzlaf, hossa, chara, price Probable future HOF's: stamkos, kucherov, hedman, tavares, burns, tarasenko, benn, seguin, crawford, bergeron, backstrom gonna point out i'm a hawks fan so clearly all biased aside

well I thought the list was great but I think if brent burns has another outstanding season he's clearly a hof

Patrice Bergeron is a hall of famer

Can the chosen one get a little love here Shannon? Don't mean to toot my own horn here but the record for most slashes taken by Phil Kessel in one game is held by yours truly.

I think Bergeron deserves more credit. Best defensive forward in the game today, and arguably ever. All while still putting up 60-70 points every season, besides this season of course, although he was battling an injury all year.

Awesome jersey/hat THG. Getzlaff is attached to corey perry so that could make or break him going into the HOF.

No Price for Hof considerations?

I think Niklas Backstrom is a sure fire hofer

I would thought to consider Getlaf, would also mean you would almost have to consider Perry. They both played a roll to the cup win in 07. Perry has also won the Rocket Richard trophy and the Hart Memorial Trophy.

You should do an updated list

Do you think Trotz has bumped his way from honourable mention to shoe in now that he has won a cup and taken NYI from worst to best goals against int he league?

Waited long enough to put best player in world with crazy hardware on the list lol but whatever...malkin is for sure your right along with the core of pens of 3 cups u have up I think kunitz with 4 cups is in, letang with a few more great yrs is on the bubble....but murray is the weird one back to back and just a rookie....does he have to be better than average the rest of way? He is way better anyway then average...top 6 reg season his rookie yr. And top goalie in playoffs so...it don't matter in the end but neat to think if he retired from some health issue tomorrow

Patrik Elias bud. Best scorer (goals and assist) in Devils history, 2 rings, a better ppg than the twins (crazy), over 400 goals, over 1000 points, his defensive game was mostly solid as he was used in all type of situation with the team. He had a lowkey career, but that random 51 overall finished it second of all time in points for czech born player, right after Jarg himself.

No, Patrice Bergeron, even me as Canes fan respects him or for Coaches what about Gerard Gallant

Would a cup win seal the deal for Vigneault as a HOFer in your opinion?

Top Ten Underrated Goalies of the 21st Century

what about Marleau

Also I can see Kunitz in the hall, and Letang.

If Thornton is in, Marleau has to be in. 500+ goals, 20 years with one franchise (I know he just went somewhere else). And I know I'm biased as an LA fan but Drew Doughty absolutely should be on here. Otherwise great list.

Drew Doughty definitely should be in HOF. If Fleury goes in so does Quick.

@thehockeyguy you should do NHL 18 Franchise mode as the canucks???? would love to see your rebuild

They should have a category for you tubers and have you in it someday

Why is darryl sutter a controversial admission for the hall? I think you kind of winced or said something that hinted his chances were hurt.

Come on CHARA!!! Dude the guy was the best defenceman in the league for years. CHARA is a Hall of Famer. I know you don't want to sound like a fan but come on man... The guy is Big he shuts people out and he won the Norris has a cup... Even today as old as he is he would play top minutes on most teams.

What about Elias? Surely being in the NHL for so long and having played a major role in the regular and post seasons, including 3 stanley cups. Also Price for being such a fantastic long term goalie.

Chara and Price - even though I'm a leafs fan gotta say those two deserve a spot on those lists. I think Hossa has to be up for consideration as well. The Sedins will make it but not as first ballet

You could be way more generous. 4 inducted every year. You put 14 ish guys forward. That covers 3.5 years of nominations on player that are in their late 20s to young 40s. Space for more. Got to mention SC winners Doughty, Kopitar, Quick, Chara, Bergeron (come on 4 selkes and counting) and more.

Corey Crawford the most underrated goaltender in the NHL #LetsGoBlues #WeWantTheCup

Here nearly 4 years later yh betgeron is DEFINITELY a hof

Do a video of mcdavid bs Crosby. Similarities passing more than shooting in early careers. Differences... etc

yes getzlaf is a HOF

What about Marion Hossa

Bergeron a definite... 4 Selkes as of 2017 as the best Defensive forward in the league, 2 Cup appearances, 1 Cup Victory, one of the best, if not the best, face off men in the league, and around 60 points each year. Maybe not first ballot, but he'll definitely make it to the HHOF.

If Zetterberg is going to the Hall of Fame then Getlaf, Perry, Kopitar, Bergeron, Marleau and Doughty will be in the Hall. Also for goalies you forgot Price, he's a goalie with a god damn MVP!

Not mentioned probably hofers right now: weber, chara, burns, price, maybe quick, maybe suter. Could/should be hofers by end of career: mcdavid, eichel, matthews, stamkos, tavares, seguin, benn, tarasenko, holtby, matt murray, doughty, hedman, kopitar, bergeron, backstrom, subban, maybe kessel, maybe pavelski, maybe hall, maybe schneider, maybe bobrovsky Im sure im missing a few more

Do you think Tavares will make it

Barry Trotz.....I think if you relook this now. He'd be in there. With his all time wins and now with winning a cup

Not that I disagree with any of the names you picked, but you have to admit that all of them will make great press. Canucks fans will be super happy the Sedins get in, but there are better players that are still on the waiting list.

What about Corey Perry?,he's won a Stanley Cup,a Hart and a Maurice Richard Trophy,he also deserves to eventually be in the HOF. Bob.

I know I'm late, but I would probably add Quick and Backstrom.

Getzlaf, NO WAY. Karlsson speculation and not including McDavid is crazy as well. Anyone that doesn't think McDavid is going to be an automatic HOF is crazy.

Do a top ten contracts in NHL history and present NHL

Why are you on the fence with Getzlaf? Consistently great and alwsys a standout in International play on team Canada. Youre crazy to hesitate on Getz!

What do you think Boudreau would have to add to his resume to be considered? He has the highest winning percentage of any coach, would he have to keep that up for a number of seasons more or would he have to win a cup as well?

What about laviolette

You should make another video like this but with guys that you think deserve to be in the hall but don't necessarily think will make it in.

Since you brought up Joe Thorton scoring 100 assists in a season if he played in the 1980's a good question would be how many goals/assists/ points todays stars would score in thr 1980's. The big issue would be "would coaches know how to utilize an Alex Ovechkin" in 1980's hockey? That said, if Ovechkin played on a team with a solid playmaking center or defenseman then barring an injury Ovechkin would easily score 70 goals a few times with an outside chance of breaking Gretzky's record for goals in a season. Put him on a line with a healthy Lemieux, Gretzky or Adam Oates and Ovechkin might hit triple digits in goals scored in a single season. There is just no possible way that 1980's defensemen would be able to contain that combination of speed, strength and skill.

Yes he’s annoying a lot of the time but amazing coach John Tortarella should be in the Hall Of Fame

What about Marleau played most of career with San Jose and huge part of why that franchise has had so much success as a expansion franchise

what about Rinne or Rask?

Chara?

“Only get into the HOF if they win a cup”Alright boys sign kunitz up first ballot

Roberto Luongo, a hall of fame inductee. Drafted with a maple leaf draft pick. A pick traded t the New York islanders along with Kenny Jonson. A defence man who became an all star and the captain of the islanders. For a broken down Wendell Clarke, don’t get me wrong I love the way Wendell gave his all. Fletcher always talks about his trade for sundin. Never ever mentions that trade. I remember the knuckle heads like stormin Norman rumack and other Toronto tv and radio personalities all saying we needed Wendell back. Fletcher even said I did what the fans asked for when he announced the trade. Soon after Fletcher was gone from the GM job. Toronto press, tv and radio “personalities” are one reason ( there are many others) why Toronto has not even played in a final in the last 50 years. Never mind won a cup. Wendell lasted another two years. Not his fault his body could not deliver. But certainly the fault of the knuckle head radio pundits and sycophantic management.
