Tribute Who are the best Rangers not in the HHoF?

[Baby Duck Homme]

Gresch was my favorite Ranger as a boy. He was the anti-Porvin and the proto-Leetch.

#4 should at least be in the rafters.

 

[Siddi]

I don't even think he'll be nominated. Panarin, Fox, and Shesterkin are the only ones on the current roster that have a shot if they don't dip dramatically before retirement.

Edit - I forgot about Quick. He's likely in at this point too.

I believe the question was who are the best Rangers not in HHoF? Not who should be nominated.

Mika will probably never get nominated for HHoF but he will go down as one of the best Rangers ever.

Richter, Beezer, Larmer, Verbeek

Yeah Larmer is one I could see making it.

Maybe even Richter though I think he's a bit of a long shot. His career pretty much splits in two. The first part lasted 7/8 years and was fantastic....the second part the team hit the skids and his numbers dropped with it.

Van Biesbrouck I don't know. He was very solid for a long time in an era (like Richter's) when there were a bunch of great goaltenders. Perhaps if he won a Cup....also that incident with Trevor Daley when he was coaching in the OHL I got to think that works against him.

On Verbeek he did win a Cup with Dallas late in his career. Also over 500 goals--500 assists and 1000 points so maybe.

The real answer is Adam Fox.

Norris, 2 time NHL 1st team, 2 time NHL 2nd team

Those are HoF numbers as long as he doesn’t fall off a cliff which it looks like he might lol

A quick look at his stats & he's not even in the conversation. We're in an era where D-man are scoring 80-90 points pretty regularly. Plenty of guys have won a single Norris, doesn't make them a HOFer.

Agreed. While I don't think Gresch was HOF material, he definitely deserves his number in the rafters at MSG.

It would be criminal for Greschner to get the honor over Park.

I think Park is a given at some point.

After he dies?

Would that really surprise you?

No, considering it should have happened decades ago.

No, considering it should have happened decades ago.

Especially with 2 already up there. Like, why not?
