Does Kris Letang fall into the category of a Hall of Famer to you?

[Suntouchable13]

Facts, I mean among the big sports, the hockey hall of fame has the lowest bar. It's like, did you participate? Get the f*** in here!

I don’t disagree. That’s how they seem to want it. It’s their Hall of Fame.

When he's done he's going to have:

1200+ games
800+ points
3 Stanley Cups
8 top-10 Norris finishes
2 second-team all-star

He's getting in. The only conversation to be had is whether the HoF's standards are too low for your liking, because he's definitely getting in.

I don't have a problem with your take fyi, just commenting on one of the stats listed here. The fact that TOP TEN Norris finishes is a defining stat for Letang to get in the HOF says it all. Top 3? Okay I can swallow that, but f***in top 10? TOP TEN? I mean what a f***in joke.

Yes he will get into the hall of fame.

Look at the criteria to get in. Look at Letangs career.

If you are a person that wishes less players made it well that's only a wish in dream land.
We have to deal with reality.

He'll probably get in, but he doesn't seem like a hall of fame to me. Maybe I've just seen too many of his bonehead plays...

I get what you are saying....but....list out all the current Dmen in the HOF and show their Norris finishes....Letang's 8x in top 10 will be better than quite a few.

Quick comparison of Letang vs. the Dmen that got in over the past 10 years (ONLY on top 10 Norris voting finishes):

• Letang - 3,4,6,6,7,8,9,9 (8x top 10)
• Weber - 2,2,3,4,4,6,7,8,10 (9x top 10)
• Wilson - 1,3,4,4 (4x top 10)
• Lowe - 5,7,8,10 (4x top 10)
• Zubov - 3,4,8,8,9,9,9 (7x top 10)
• Pronger - no need to list
• Lidstrom - no need to list
• Housley - 3,5,5,5,9,10 (6x top 10)
• Blake - 1,3,3,4,5,8 (6x top 10)

It has tighter standards than basketball and probably football as well. Dwight Freeney and Devin Hester were inducted this past year lol.

The Pens almost never retire numbers. They have only done it 3 times in franchise history.

As it should be.
