I wouldn't doubt it.
I still can't understand what happened to this kid. He was on the right trajectory after a rough start to his career. 19 goals and 41 points in 2011-12. 34 points in 48 games in 2012-13. 20 goals and 44 points the following year. And then suddenly he totally sucked at the ripe old age of 24. Really weird.
Hodgson is, if nothing else, a great example of nurture over nature. Between his parents and organizational influences both in Vancouver and Buffalo, he was just never prepared to improve upon himself. I liked him personally but the skating left so much to be desired.
Also, with Andreychuck, the case for him being in the Hall is pretty clear but I can at least understand the wait. He was very, very one dimensional and while I appreciate what his career collectively adds up to, I could name 4 guys more deserving more years than not.
