Same level as Brind'amour to me. Decent number of points, really good player his whole career, but nothing that seperates him from being just a good player that played for a long time.
- BINGO!


pffffft.

after he scores 150 goals and wins 4 cups in the next 3 years you'll change your tune.

maybe im wrong - wouldn't be the first time.

but id think Marleau is a HHOF kinda guy

- Lucas.Neilson


If he plays all 3 seasons of his contract and still has gas in the tank for one more, he can break Howe's record for all-time games played, which would be something.

Unfortunately, the HHOF seems to value that.

I find it laughable that they made Lindros wait for so long, yet Mike Franking Gardiner was a shoo-in.

Gardiner scored 30 goals for 30 years. He was never a particularly exciting player.

Lindros was a killing machine who could score. He was the most exciting player at the time to watch. He should have been in on the first ballot.

Not a tough call at all.

He won't make it.

0 major awards (2 Lady Byng nominations).

Sure, 2 gold medals for Canada at Olympics.

But really, that's about it.

4 times he played in the all star game.

The rest of his resume is just San Jose Shark achievements.

Nope.

+ 3 Stanley Cups with Maple Leafs

Marleau is going to the HHoF.

Others guys have gotten in for less than what he's accomplished.

Brind'amour has a cup, more points in fewer games and two Selke's and he's borderline.

toronto fans want to see toronto players when they go to the HHOF.

Sundin was a shoe-in.
