I don't think any GM in the right mind would have traded Kariya in his prime for Andreychuk in his prime.

I don't think any GM in the right mind would have traded Roenick in his prime for Andreychuk in his prime.

I don't think any GM in the right mind would have traded Tkachuk in his prime for Andreychuk in his prime.

I don't think any GM in the right mind would have traded Fleury in his prime for Andreychuk in his prime. Theo must be so pissed off right now that Andreychuk made it and he hasn't.

Hell I wouldn't have traded Gary Roberts in his prime for Andreychuk, and I don't think Roberts is even close to a hall of fame candidate.

As Ray Ferraro said, the HHOF should be reserved for players who teams had to actually game plan against. Ferraro never played on a team that had to game plan against Dave Andreychuk and I don't think he's alone in that.

Longevity should be a minor criteria, something that should be looked at after they've past the main criteria such as dominance and elite talent.
