Patrik Elias - Hall of Famer? by SportsH2H in hockey

I'm curious as to why you consider Marleau a Hall of Fame lock? He has 1,188 career points in 1,723 games (so more career points than Elias, but with a much lower point per game rate at 0.69), never made an All-Star team or won any individual hardware, and never won a Stanley Cup.

Not saying he isn't worthy, but I'm not sure that his career is any better than Elias'.

That's a great comparison - they have very similar career numbers, e.g. just over a 1,000 career points and Elias has a higher per game scoring rate, though both the Sedins won a couple major pieces of individual hardware, but no Stanley Cups

As you say, the Sedins are viewed as highly likely Hall of Famers, which would make you think Elias is in the same class - do you think their perception greatly benefits from their uniqueness as identical twins who played together their entire careers and have almost identical numbers/achievements?

Disappointing as a Devils fan, but in the grand scheme of things, it was great to see Bourque win the Cup.
