Is Ryan Getzlaf a Future Hall of Famer?

[slashtrey]

Will likely finish well over 1000 points, with a cup and more. I’m thinking yes

Easily

 

[DJJones]

ya pretty easy yes

 

[jetsforever]

50-50

 

[FissionFire]

I don’t know if I’d say easily as I doubt he gets in without waiting a bit but most likely he will wind up in there.

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

Yeah. Might take him a try or two, a lot of his career has been pretty quiet.

 

[Levie]

Far from "easily". He has an outside chance.

 

[Ulysses31]

i would say yes.

if he didnt win a cup then prolly not.

 

[Arselona]

Is Getzlaf a HOFer?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

the f***? No, he isn't. Not at this point in time. No major awards, never really top 5 in his position. A good player, all-star caliber some years. Not a Hall of Famer at all.

 

[Mr Hockey]

my vote would be a yes

 

[93LEAFS]

I'd probably vote for him, but its close. He's been a consistent top 10 center in the league for a decade, but he's only made one post-season All-Star team (2nd Team all-star in 2013/14 with a Hart Nomination). Probably will go down as the greatest Duck of All-time, but probably not as iconic as Teemu or Kariya. It's interesting, for as great a draft as 2003 was, they might not have that many HHOF's. I would think Bergeron and Getz have the best chance.

 

[Johnnybegood13]

Probably 2nd or 3rd try, but he'll make it.

 

[Kevs Security]

I like Getz but I'll be honest with y'all fellas. If Marleau doesn't get in, there is no chance in hell that Getz gets in.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Borderline. I’d say his injury history holds back his point totals a bit. Not a lot of individual hardware either.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

No. He's a star but not a decade defining player.

 

[Arselona]

Glenn Anderson, Dino Ciccarelli, Phil Housley, Joe Niewendyk, Mats Sundin and Dave Andreychuk are all in the hall. Getz gets inducted prob year 1.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

If players like Marleau, Toews, Alfie, Bergeron, Kopitar are...how do you say no to Getzlaf?

He easily in

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

the ****? No, he isn't. Not at this point in time. No major awards, never really top 5 in his position. A good player, all-star caliber some years. Not a Hall of Famer at all.

He was the 2nd best scorer in the NHL in 2013-2014 and made the 2nd all-team as best center IIRC, but I agree with your general assessment that he’s not quite at that level.

 

[Regal]

I like Getz but I'll be honest with y'all fellas. If Marleau doesn't get in, there is no chance in hell that Getz gets in.

Why? He's a much better player than Marleau

 

[Regal]

It's funny when people overrate the criteria for getting into the Hall on players like him. Franchise centers for many years have good odds. He's not a lock but he has a very good chance

 

[Nurmagomedov]

There's been a few years where he's been elite but i wouldn't put him in at this point, even as a Ducks fan. That said, the standards for the Hall are lower than i'd like them to be.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

the ****? No, he isn't. Not at this point in time. No major awards, never really top 5 in his position. A good player, all-star caliber some years. Not a Hall of Famer at all.

Hes prob the most underated center in this generation... he was def top 5 center for a few seasons

 

[Kevs Security]

Why? He's a much better player than Marleau

Might be. But if Marleau doesn't get in with 550 goals and 1200 points, I don't see Getz getting in with 350 goals and 1100 points.

 

[Regal]

Might be. But if Marleau doesn't get in with 550 goals and 1200 points, I don't see Getz getting in with 350 goals and 1100 points.

Totals don't mean as much as how a player is viewed in the game.
