S56 PT #4 - HOF Snub

I'm going to make the case for the highest-scoring player still not in the HOF, and who is up for election into the HOF - Trevor Wilson. Playing exactly 20 seasons and 1000 games, enough longevity is there to be considered. What stands out to me about Wilson and the HOF players with similar points to him (753 points), is that Wilson only had 141 Powerplay points, significantly lower than those near him on the lists. This indicated that Wilson did a lot more of his heavy lifting earning points in 5 on 5, and setting up an argument for him being one of the better even strength forces in his category. Earning over a 0.75 PPG while earning less PP or SH time than his contemporaries is also reflected in Wilson's sub-20,000 minutes played (19,914) - again, players near him in all-time points jump past 20,000, even as high as 25,000 while earning roughly less or equal points. Wilson di the most with what they are given, and haven't set themselves up for a HOF career with a specialty stat or some extra PIMs - Wilson was a consistent offensive force throughout his career, and particularly thrived with the matchups as close as they could be.
