The Athletic’s Chris Johnston posted a mailbag feature this morning, and Johnston makes what I know some of you think is a controversial suggestion:
Who comes to mind (beyond Alex Mogilny) as someone who should be in the Hall of Fame? — Mike C.
Beyond Mogilny, who absolutely, unequivocally should already be in the Hall, the guy that stands out to me is Henrik Zetterberg. At first glance, his counting stats probably won’t wow you, but adjusted for era he was basically an 80-point player across his career who gained entry to the Triple Gold Club and won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2008. Those are pretty strong credentials.
Continued; I know that some of you feel that Zetterberg is more a “Hall of Very Good” player, but I’m going to stick to my guns and suggest that he’s a Hall-of-Famer in the making. We’ll see what the next couple of years bring.
