Why is Theo Fluery not in? They had very similar careers. Why isn't Alex Mogilny in? After seeing some posts here and looking at their stats how does Marchand get in and not them?

Fleury is probably not in because of his reputation. But even then Marchand's four-year run between 2016-2020 is better than Fleury's peak. Mogilny has a case but is inconsistent and lacks a strong playoff run.

The Hall is rather inconsistent with the kinds of players they let in. You can make arguments for a lot of guys since they let in countless undeserving and, at best, borderline players from the 80s like Bernie Federko and Michel Goulet.

Not sure where you are getting Marchand was better in a 4 year prime than Fleury

Marchand top 5 years purely on pts
100-87-85-85-80=437 pts
Fluery
104-100-96-85-78=463 pts

FLeury had more 50+ goals season and 100+ pt season than Marchand.

Anyone who says Marchand is a first ballot hall of famer needs to look at Fluery not being in. The are pretty much the same player with the same reputation ON THE ICE

Fluery has one All Star finish to Marchand's four which is fairly significant.

These are just raw stats. Adjust for context (e.g., looking at adjusted goals/points/goals created), and Marchand is just way more consistently good. He's also aging better.

This is a term I despise and is very subjective

For me all star anything means nothing and is FAR from being significant

It means you've been recognized as one of the two best at your position at the end of the year. I think it can be a very telling award, especially when comparing stars across generation gaps to compare how they faired against their peer group.
