I am good with Selanne and Kariya getting in. Recchi is a stretch and a flat no for Andreychuk.
Andreychuk played in the high scoring 80's, almost all of them, yet no 100 point seasons, only 2 90 point seasons, and 2 80 point seasons. You did not game plan around Dave Andreychuk, at no point was he in the conversation for best player or even top 5 player in the NHL. He was a stat accumulator. If his career ends in 1993-94 he has 908 points. From then through 2005-2006 he averaged 39 points a season getting 430 of his points.
Mark Recchi at least had 3 one hundred points seasons and was much closer to a PPG player, but like I said, he is borderline too.
Glad to see Kariya get recognized. Everyone always points to Lindros for having his career ruined by concussions, but people seem to forget that Kariya's was too.
