See Bernie Nicholls' 1988-89 and 1989-90.I'm not saying I'd put him in the Hall, because he comes up short on longevity, but Charlie Simmer's numbers for '80 and '81 are impressive. 112 goals in 129 games. I'd be shocked if anyone scored at that rate over a two-season span, and isn't in the Hall.
Naslund has a 4 years windows of HHOF level play but
LeClair played like an HHOF for 6, just before Naslund, both were on famous line, had some legendary moment in 93 and made the finals in 97, both are 400 goals-850 pts type without that 500-1000 type of mark they would love.
I am not sure if Naslund is cleanly above LeClair among voters. Naslund peak higher, he could smell that Ross and Hart slip away the last game, but was not elite long, did not win anything or ever got close.
All of them are better than Phil Housley.
same nonexistent playoff record, same total lack of intangibles and all round game

During an earlier discussion of Marcel Dionne, I took a "reading glasses" perusal of with/without production re: Simmer & Taylor- and satisfied myself that Dionne's output took a bigger hit when Taylor was out of the lineup (as opposed to when Simmer was out of the lineup).Not a popular opinion but, I think Simmer was the best of this group.
but in a hall of fame prime, even if your two best years are as good as 2002 and 2003, 2001 and 2004 should really be your fifth or sixth best year, even if you have standard hall of fame longevity and a solid playoff record. if they are your third and fourth best year, you better have a buttload of longevity and counting stats and be a legendary playoff performer.
