Did the last 6 years get Corey Perry into the HHOF

He's almost certainly in. He's got a lot of the things the selection committee like: longevity, international success, awards etc.

Easy inductee.

Yes I think he gets in right away. 500 goals and 1000 points would make it more obvious, but they will like that he won pretty much everything and for a hall of fame, Perry has been fairly prominent (famous) for a long time and memorable as one of the most prominent rat types ever. He's still very relevant now at 40 and whenever he is discussed for years now it's pretty glowing praise. His relatively fluky Hart helps a lot too. It's the hall of fame, not some legitimate ranking of the best X number of players ever.

I can't see any way he is left out, and given that he will likely be finishing his career (or close enough) playing relevant hockey on good teams, memories will be fresh for the committee and he likely gets in early on.

Fair enough I jsut think there are better players not in the Hall who have equal or as good of a case but the HHOF isn't that hard to enter as winger it seems unless your name is Patrick Elias or Theo Fleury (I get why he isn't int).

isn't he part of the triple gold club? he was def getting in before the last 6 years

I mean JayBo is in the triple gold club as are guys like Fillpula and Modin so that doesn't make you a lock.

However Perry has also won the World Cup, Memorial Cup and World Juniors tying him with Scott Niedermayer when it comes to collecting championships.

Had he retired in 2020, he would've still got in regardless. Even if Edmonton wins this year, a cup at the end of a career isn't going to move the needle for him.
