Moderators Cozy Connoisseur Code: Written task: What retired player not in the Hall of Fame deserves to be in the Hall of Fame? Make the case for one of these players: who do you think should be elected in and why? If you'd like to be more confrontational, you can pick a player who is in the HOF and make the case for why they shouldn't be. (150+ words) A retired player that currently is not a member of the Hall of Fame that should be in there would be "Patrikov Bure" I only joined the SHL in S45 so I do not have much history about the SHL, but after taking a look at the HOF candidates Patrikov Bure's stats caught my eye. He played in 900 games, scored 282 goals, had 359 assists totaling 641 points. He also had a career +/- of 81 which is very impressive. Patrikov also was a physical player producing 1451 hits and taking 1302 hits for himself as well. Patrikov had a very impressive SHL career spanning over 18 seasons, so it is surprising he is not considered for a ballot while looking at some of the other candidates already in the HOF. There are players in the HOF with less point, goals and assist totals than Patrikov so that was surprising for me. This is my case for Patrikov Bure to be inducted into the SHL hall of fame. (168 words) Thank you @Stadacona for the Chaewon player sig!
