Around SBN: Lakers Should Trade Andrew Bynum So He Doesn't Go To Waste

With Cujo calling 'er a career, Puck Daddy ponders his Hall of Fame cred. I know Contrarian Goalie's a big fan, but for me, I'll always remember The Save right before Marchant downed Goliath in OT in 1997.

I actually don't know how I'd call this right now. What say you?

I don’t think he gets in. He was a good goalie but I think to make the HoF at this stage you need to be a top twenty player in the league for several seasons and I don’t think Joseph makes the cut.

I’m with Scott here. The Hall of Fame is not the Hall of Very Good. Joseph was very good for a long time, but I don’t consider him one of the all-time greats.

This is kind of my thinking, too, and I’m sure if it was someone else, I’d have more immediately come down on the “no” side: when there’s a question, the answer is almost always no. In this case, I admit sentimentality got the better of me.

Besides, there’s every possibility he gets in anyway: as Wyshynski points out, Mike Gartner did, and he never led the league in any major statistical category (and outside of placing fifth in goals in 1991, was usually on the edge of the top ten), never won a major award, and generally was never considered one of the very best in the NHL. But his cumulative stats were so big he couldn’t be ignored.
