Did the last 6 years get Corey Perry into the HHOF

JackSlater said:
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 in).

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.
 
Last 6 years of being complementary player on usually good but never (almost never?) the best teams don't add almost anything to his legacy IMO.

If he will be remembered, it will be for his Anaheim tenure.
 
He was already getting in.

But if he wins another cup while leading the Oilers in goals as a 40 year old...yeah how you keep him out
 
He will get in. Might take a little while, but he has been an impact player for a long time. Scoring isn't everything with this guy. He's a skilled menace who shows up when it matters.

I get what you're saying with Elias but Perry feels more "famous" and has an easier hook with the variety of things he won, plus he has been featured prominently a lot in his late 30s in a way that Elias wasn't. For what it's worth Elias should get in too, and I expect that he will sometime.

Sure I get the "more famous part" and like I said the bar for wingers is actually quite low so there is that.

I just don't really care either way and I think his last 6 seasons are somewhat nostalgic and over hyped with the playoff thing but that's me I think the same thing when people bring up Trottier's contributions to the Pens SC years and the importance of Fetisov to Detroit as way more narrative than actual reality.

Yes that's true but I'm not talking about it adding to his career much, just getting into the hhof. Trottier and Fetisov were easy adds anyway (Fetisov waiting a bit more for obvious reasons). Making all of these finals runs has kept Perry in the collective hockey consciousness for longer than you would think given his play.

A very solid career overall, but I think most would argue he is borderline HHOF, likely missing the cut. Ignoring if he wins/loses this year, did the last 6 years of 6 SCF's push him over the line?

1 Cup
1 Hart
1 Rocket
2 PPG+ seasons out of 21
1392 GP as of this season
Will finish just shy of 1k points

No. It hasn’t.

4-5 NHL players go in per season for the most part. We have a lot of big names coming up in the next decade that makes Perry's questionable. Can see where we quickly each year get 100% shoe ins.


Thornton
Char
Keith
Price
Subban
Getzlaf
Rask
Spezza
Bergeron
Toews
Staal
Kessel
Marleau
Pavelski
Backstrom
Carter
Parise
Gio
Elias
Tkachuk
Gonchar
Mogilny
Fleury
Jagr
Quick
Burns
Kovalcuk
Brind amour
Malkin
Kane
Kopitar
Crosby
Bob
Groux
Ovy
Karlsson
Doughty
Marchand
Letang
Tavares
Carlson

Perry is in the same tier of player as half that list or more.

I think he gets in eventually, but back to my OP, i think he was questionable pre-2020ish and now will get in sooner, but may take a while. Assuming 3-4 players per year, i tried to predict a bit and there are a lot of good players left off

I do not think he should be in the HHOF. Outside of a couple years he has never been a top player in the league. Doesn't have 500 goal. Doesn't have 1000 points. PPG player only twice in his career. Way better players waiting to get in.

You can say that about many players of the past generation though
 
He's not a hall of famer by any measure outside of cup final appearances, which will be enough to get him despite his career being basically done back in 2016 as far as it goes for him being a top X (25/30/50) player in the league
