Pavelski has been in two game 6’s SC Finals lost, was an all-star, was a silver medalist at 2010 Olympics and won a NCAA national championship with Wisconsin and won a championship at the USHL level with Waterloo and has a record of most playoff goals (74) by an American born player, besides that there isn’t much else to go on.
Great NHL career with 1,332 regular season games and 201 playoff games at a career 0.80 points per game regular season, also played in 17 KHL games with Dinamo Minsk during the 2012-13 lockout.
I would say yes to Pavelski going into the HHOF he almost made the top 50 goal scorer of all time, not bad for an American 7th rounder from Wisconsin.
