Are there any players that you would not of put into the HOF?

Not an inner circle guy and the name probably didn't hurt. But he had a long career starting as a good winger in the WHA & then as a top tier defenseman in the NHL for several years. The hockey hall of fame is more lenient than baseball's & anyone w/his resume is or will be elected whether or not his name is Howe.

I think he is also responsible for the nets no longer being anchored to the ice as he suffered a gruesome injury early in his career.
