Did the last 6 years get Corey Perry into the HHOF

[CokenoPepsi]

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

He has a Hart, a Rocket and he won alot of championships.

He a hall of famer

 

[ORRFForever]

YES!

 

[MS]

If anything, the circumstances around what happened in Chicago might take him *out* of the HHOF after already being in.

But aside from that, he was probably in a long time ago. Hart, Cup, multi-times 1st Team AS. Triple Gold club.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

He’s in.

 

[Summer Rose]

To pedantically answer the question as phrased, no.

(He was already a hall of famer to me, therefore the last six years don’t make a difference to that opinion.)

 

[Bruce Granville]

No. The last 6 years don‘t matter.
He was already in…

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

He's getting in like it or not.

 

[danisonfire]

Perry was already locked as a member of the triple gold club and more. He won almost everywhere he went:

OHL Cup Champion
CHL Memorial Cup Champion
U20 WJC Gold Medal
World Championship Gold Medal
World Cup Gold Medal
Olympic Gold Medal x2
NHL Stanley Cup Champion

CHL Memorial Cup MVP
OHL Most Outstanding Player
OLH Playoffs MVP
NHL MVP (Hart)
NHL Most Goals (Richard)

Hmm I think Perry had a very short peak where he was an elite player and if anything the back half of his career has played him out of the hall of fame

The man got bought out and then went to the finals five of the next six years, as a vital member of every single team.

His Ducks career made him a Hall of Famer - the last six years have made him a legend.

why did he get bought out?

what are his point totals like over those last legendary 6 years?

 

[Mattb124]

The HOF induction committee doesn't think that way. They love career length and career totals.

Andreychuk was a ~20 goal/~40 point guy his last several years, and he wouldn't have gotten in without those years.

Marleau will be inducted based on games played alone.


If Perry wins the Cup this year, I think he gets in.

You're right that he wasn't an elite player that long, but his career looks great on paper and the romantic ending of finally winning another Cup after coming up short a few times will be a tempting narrative for voters.

Marleau’s two Olympics gold medals will have nothing to do with it? Just stop.

He’ll have to get in line behind Chris Kunitz. Actually probably a bunch of guys after Kunitz, 4 cups and not being the 3rd wheel on the 3rd line in the Olympics is a pretty big gap.

No, he needs to be recognized as a two-time Olympic gold medal winner when people make claims about his accomplishments as a professional hockey player. Chris Kunitz has nothing to do with it and I feel badly for folks who think he does.

Cup is a team award. Kunitz has 600 points?? There's no way Kunitz is a HOFer unless he's golfing with the right people 25 years from now and they wanna put all Crosby's buddies in

 

[RussianBum86]

Mvp , stanley cup, many finals appearances, and for a power forward not much more he can do. He will never top Shanahann's numbers, two gold medals, but is there any other more dominant power forward during his career than him? If toews gets in he gets in. I think he technically is already in with a cup win, hart trophy, and rocket. HE is a top 10 goal scorer over his career and brings the nastiness. I would put him in over Marchand or Toews. I still don't know if he is a first ballor HOFER or if he makes,b ut he does have a case with his hardware from the power forward position.

 

[FourHourParekhtion]

why did he get bought out?

He was bought out because he wasn’t an elite franchise cornerstone $8.25M player anymore.

Being an elite player wire to wire is not a requirement for the Hall of Fame - never has been.

Furthermore, the Ducks are a trash organization - since they bought out Perry, Corey has played 116 playoff games (27G, 24A, 0.44 PPG) and Anaheim has played none.

Ryan Getzlaf never played a post season game without Corey Perry.

I would argue Dallas, Montreal and Edmonton don’t make the finals without him - certainly not Montreal.

Finally, every single coach that has had the option to put Corey Perry out there in the final five minutes trying to tie the game has done so.

At least three times, he’s on the ice for the final shift of the championship.

Because he’s a fuggin LEGEND.

 

[RussianBum86]

They have lower peaks.

Toews is the only player out of the three with individual hardware and a Selke ain't much to brag about...CS is nice but below a Hart and rocket.

If you wanna use just raw numbers against Perry it isn't like Toews is that great, unlikely he even gets to 400 goals or 900 points.

Getzlaf was Perry's longtime teammate, very solid player, decent bit under a PPG, just one cup.

Tavares is interesting, he will finish his career around close to 600 goals and 1300ish points or more but he has as of now zero NHL team success and international not that great didn't score a single point in the 2014 Olympics before getting hurt.

Don't get me wrong I think every player will make it, I just don't get the Perry being a weak argument with how the hall is these days

yeah same here. HE has the hardware and cup, but doesnt have the top 5 of his career type numbers. He is top 10 in goals scored to go with his individual awards, cup, and gold medals.

 

[Sniper99]

He was in way before that.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

His career averages out to 55 points per 82 games in the regular season and 49 points per 82 in the playoffs. I get he's triple gold and has a hart but those are such underwhelmingly low stats for a 'scoring winger' who played his entire career post lockout. He's gonna need another year to get 500 goals and another 2 to hit 1000 points and he'd be just scraping those low bar benchmarks.

 

[OG Eberle]

If you think Brad Marchand is a hall of famer and don't think Corey Perry is, I am very curious to your arguments.

They're essentially the same players across their careers for stats, play styles, and perception to others across the league. Brad's played on better teams longer is about the only difference.

Both are easily in IMO

 

[TT1]

generational competitor

 

[Toby91ca]

If he’s in, I don’t see the last 6 years being a big reason, his stats are pretty low over the past six years….i get that he’s gone deep in the playoffs the past 6 years, but…so? Do people really think he’s been a big reason for that or just a small piece of each of those teams?

 

[Fantomas]

He's not a hall of famer by any measure

Give me some examples of these "measures"

Perry's a big piece of this team and they're two wins away from a cup

I think the reason people are harping on his last 6 years is they are the years he was away from Getz/Ryan/Ducks top line in general. I'm not sure why these years would've made or broke his HOF credentials tbh as I don't think anything thats happened the last 6yrs has necessarily strengthened his case beyond what he had prior to leaving the Ducks.

Having said that, it's quite admirable that even though his scoring has diminished as he's aged, his physicality and pest-like nature hasn't. In fact, the fact he's been able to play as long as he has and still be a very effective NHL player in the role he's evolved into through his twilight years is nice to see. Many players that can't score end up being useless to their teams in the end and just retire. Perry meanwhile has consistsenly been a strong bottom 6 player with a scoring edge the last several years.

EDIT: I feel stupid now, but I think the reason the OP was talking about the last 6 years is the fact that he's made 5 out of 6 of the last Stanley Cup Finals, despite winning none (so far, knock on wood)
