He may be. Worse players are in the Hall, but he's also in the same tier as Eric Staal and Jason Spezza and not all of them will be inducted. I think Tavares will be, but I'm not sure he's a better player than Backstrom.

I don't understand what the third category is supposed to be, HHOF isn't the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, you don't have "groups" inducted.

He’s in the tier of player that could go either way. I think he would likely have made it if he didn’t get injured and could keep racking up points. He might have been over 1200 at this point. He’s a weird one too where I feel like he wasn’t really hyped much while he was playing so that could hurt him, but at the same time, there’s no one other than Ovechkin from those strong Washington teams that are going to get in so he might make it in because of that

He’s a borderline.
No idea what option 3 is for.

He’s far from a first ballot guy but he will get in sooner or later.
