Two questions all rolled up into one nugget of info. If you are among the hockey writers, do you put Turgeon in the Hall Of Fame when his time comes? What are your thoughts about his career?

Probably
He averaged 1.03 (better than Dino Ciccarelli, Glenn Anderson and Luc Robitaille)
The problem with Pierre is he moved around a lot. He never became a constant force with any one team. For a lot of people he flew under the radar. He scored 50 goals once, scored 100 points twice, his teams made the playoffs 15 times, but only past the 2nd round twice.
Snoop, not too many writers on the committee, and the inductees are based on a majority vote to a maximum of three inductees

- NHL Senior Vice President, Hockey operations

Harold Sinden - Hall of Fame Member (Builder)
Lanny McDonald - Hall of Fame Member (Player)
Peter Stastny - Hall of Fame Member (Player)
Serge Savard - Hall of Fame Member (Player)
John Davidson - St. Louis Blues President, Hockey Operations
Eric Duhatschek - Hall of Fame Member/Writer
Michael Farber - Hall of Fame Member/Writer
James Dickenson Irvin, Jr - Hall of Fame Member/Broadcaster
Michael Emrick - Broadcaster

I think he will be a hall of famer, but it will take him a few tries to get in. He either has 500 or 600 goals for his career, probably plenty of total points, and most of the teams he has been on have been to the playoffs, so turgeon is a definite hall of famer in the some what near future

Tough decision regarding Pierre Turgeon. Without a doubt, he's had a fine career- averaging over a point per game, and scoring over 500 goals. Granted, he's never won a Cup, but i think that is the most negative thing anyone could say about him. He has been a truly gentlemanly player throughout his career, which is more than we can say for the majority of NHL players. Between his scoring and his gentlemanly play i think they outweigh the fact that he's never won a Cup. I would vote him in.

he should have retired last year after injuries forced him off the active roster with the avs. i remember when the avalanche picked him up after forsberg went to philly and the expectations were high. he and steve konowalchuck made a good pairing, and pierre was a decent playmaker.i see him inducted to the hall of fame in the next few years. when pierre was in his prime i'm sure he was fun to watch, he was no adam oates, but still fun to watch

I think that he will be a Hall of Famer. He never really lived up to his potential. Consistency and drive were never his strong points. However, he did put up a lot of points in his career and I think that he will get in based on point total.

Wow, he was still in the league last year? I assumed that he retired years ago because I haven't heard anything about him for a while. I think he'll make it to the Hall, but it'll be a year or two after he's eligible. Just my opinion.

1300+ points in 1200 games for someone who spent most of his career on lame teams... I'd expect he'd be admitted.
