Point per game player (exactly actually), 417 goals in 816 games, two world championship gold medals (he excels in that tournament), Bronze in Salt Lake, Rocket Richard Winner, etc. You'd be hard pressed to find a better goal scorer over the last decade. He has Buresque type numbers, and he's in the Hall of Fame. Maybe not as exciting to watch as Bure was in his heyday, but if he can add an Olympics Gold Medal and a another couple World Championship gold medals you could make a case he deserves to get in.
If he goes in then Fleury should be a shoo in.
