2 is better than one
Tkachuk's hope there are a lot of good looking women with bad eyesight too.
Roenick was better but there are far worse players than both in the Hall.

He's my favorite player of all time, so I'm obviously a biased "yes".
You are going to get pushback due to playoff numbers, although his best years were spent on a franchise that didn't win a playoff series for an eternity: even after he left. Pretty sure one of the other arguments is that he wasn't an NHL 1st Team guy during his peak.
My argument is that he was a f***ing bad ass and his 1996-97 season was legendary. 52 goals in the dead puck era while putting up 228 PIMS. Six goals in seven playoff games.
If Winnipeg didn't match the offer sheet and he went to a big market, he'd be thought of more highly. If he goes to Detroit in 1996-97 instead of Shanahan, we're talking about him like Shanny, IMO.

Yes but only in the builders section for his two sons.

More than 500 goals. More than 1000 points. A preeminent power forward of his era. Should be in.

100%
100% KT should be in the HHOF. His game was more than just goals and points. Fabulous player.

Blues fan saying HELL NO.
He’ll get in when he buys a ticket. Guy was a choking dog.
My favorite moment of his career was when he, as a member of the Jets, high-sticked the Blues’ Brendan Shanahan who had to leave the ice to get stitched up. Shanny came back to start the next period pissed and went to let Tkachuk know. Tkachuk turtled on the ice like a little bitch trying to keep Shanahan from killing him. Total wuss of a power-forward. One of a handful of players to have “led” THREE different teams to playoff series losses after having a three-games-to-one series lead.
f*** that guy.

No.
0 cups
O playoff MVP
0 RocketS
0 Hart trophies.
He won literally nothing.
The only argument for him is that the hockey hall of fame is incredibly easy to get into, the bar is so very VERY low.
He's not a Hall of famer but he probably gets in because the bar is so low.

The default answer to the question "should [x] get into the HOF" nowadays is "sure, great, fine, okay, whatever"

Agreed. Tkachuk defined playoff loser for nearly a decade before No-show Joe Thornton came on the scene.

Should we give them a trophy or medals for this weird tournament?
Why not both?

No NHL team hardware, no solo hardware (tho he would have won rocket if it was a thing 4 years earlier because he had League lead in goals in 96-97). And for the awards he was eligible for he never was a top 5 in voting.
Would definitely be an uphill climb for him to get in.

Roenick got in despite winning “nothing”
I can see him getting in and making the online community angry about it because it’s what they do
