I mean he has to be by now right?
Just making sure the HF posters are in agreement. Guy will be a 1,000 point scorer soon enough, and maybe a 500g scorer, likely not though but close.

And thats only bringing up numbers, ignoring everything else he does on the ice.

He likely gets in, may not be 1st ballot though.

If it was my HHOF, he wouldn't be there. Was never a Top 10 player in the league for me personally and he never won any major individual accolades. That being said, there's plenty of players who don't have those and have made the HHOF. He'll be there for his style of play, Team Success, International Success and Longevity (likely hits 1000pts).
 
He was never in any year of his career the best at anything but licking people...well maybe slew foots...and low bridges....eh thats the trifecta so why not....

Maybe if the Sabres had a few " Marchand " type players on the team then they might actually make the Playoffs more than once every 15 seasons. :nod:

Yes, regardless of what happens from now until the rest of his career.

Silly to suggest otherwise

Did you fall asleep from 2016/17- 2021/22 ?

During that time frame he’s:

4th in pts
6th in goals
4th in pts/game
3rd in playoff points

All while being a good defensive player and one of the best PK players in the world.

That’s a clear cut top 10 player
 
He's a better player all time than a lot of guys who have higher numbers

His peak and 5-year prime is better than a lot of guys who get in.

He was a top 10 player in the league from 2017 to 2021. Names on that list not ranked in order

Mcdavid
Kucherov
Crosby
Kane
Marchand
Mackinnon
Malkin
Draisaitl
OV
Hedman

He's a hall of famer, though maybe not 1st ballot
 
Future HOFERS currently playing in SCF:

McDavid
Draisaitl
Perry
Barkov
Marchand
Bobrovsky

Coaches/GM's
Maurice
Zito

Crosby, Ovechkin, McDavid, Drai, Kucherov are all clearly ahead of him in that timeframe.

He’s quite clearly not top 5. You could easily argue top 10 and not be wrong. Just for me personally he wasn’t, he was right there though. In that timeframe, I would take Vasi, Hedman, MacKinnon. l’d personally have him anywhere from 8-12. Bergeron, Barkov, Kane, Matthews, Marchand are all in that territory for me.

I’m not discrediting Marchand’s amazing run during that time period. He was a top 3-5 winger during that time period which is incredible. But you referenced totals. Marchand is one of the most durable players I’ve seen and the Bruins were quite good those years. I can’t really take him over some of these other guys when talking about talent. I never said he’s not making the hall either. But you can’t deny that he’s had the luxury of playing for contenders his entire career and alongside one of the best defensive centers the game has ever seen.
