I wanted to say yes, but I said no.
His numbers are just not high enough, and he has no Stanley Cup.
What he does have is Olympic Gold, but its not enough for the hall.

Interesting. I was kind of leaning towards no, but after seeing the numbers, it’s a possibility. Is being a point a game player enough?
Should things like growing the game in SoCal be considered? It’s hockey related and people don’t make the HHOF necessarily because of just their play.

He was always a one way hockey player and to small to play defensively. He quit on his team mat’s at the Anaheim ducks, He took a $9,000,000 dollar pay cut just to try and satisfy his ego and to be able to say he won the Stanley cut. Then took a $ 10,000,000 loss in pay with the strike. With Karia it is all about him and not the team. Don,t dare put him in the same league as Ray Bourge.
