I think longevity combined with consistent production is a valid reason. Add that he is a record holder now. Mike Gartner got in for similar reasons and I thought that was great. I don't think he was ever the best player or won any major awards, but he was super consistent and played 20 seasons. I think he held the record for most 20+ goal seasons or something like that.
