Assessing S69s and S70s HOF chances

[Victor 10,940]

I will shortly be putting together the HOF ballot for S76 and that's a time of the season where I frequently at what current players might have a shot. Let's run through the drafts.

 

S69: Lots of good careers here but possibly no entries to the ballot. Benny Graves is hovering around the point-per-game mark in what we'll term Scott Greene territory – he also doesn't have Greene's cups so would appear to be a long shot. Guy Lesieur has an award from last season but off the pace in points, Cinnamon Block has been steady but never the star, guys like Jubis, Jensen never quite broke out.

 

The likeliest candidate here appears to be Patrik Tallinder, top scorer from a couple seasons ago. He is above point-per-game for his career, although a patchy playoff record might hurt him. Kris Rice is only 14 points back – it will be interesting to see if Tallinder's trophy and cup put him ahead or voters choose to pass on both.

 

S70: Wow this is like looking at an old school draft. No depth but there is Mikko Lahtinen, late bloomer but now 2-time MVP and still going strong. Bek has been worried about hitting that 600 point mark for his career but I reckon he's safely in regardless.

 

A sleeper pick here is Jacques Lafontaine, probably the most consistent of the Spyro/Wolski/Hextall (and himself) generation, but needing a signature season asap.

 

I was gonna do S71 and S72s where there are some interesting names but maybe next week.

Jacques Lafontaine playoff success has been very unlucky and he has been FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY for some awards. Those voters are gonna keep ignoring him for the HOF as well rip.

Such an amazing regular season career tho, Rayz Funk only had more wins than him playing for Banacock
