This guy gets shafted year after year for Hall Of Fame consideration. The man is vastly underrated as a player, especially during his Edmonton days. What is he up to nowadays?

Glenn Anderson doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame.
After Bernie Nicholls, Steve Larmer, Theoren Fleury, Dino Ciccarelli, and Doug Gilmour get in (all of whom have greater points per game totals than Anderson and didn't have Wayne Gretzky, Jari Kurri, Paul Coffey, or Mark Messier as a teammate for 8 years or more) then I will allow consideration of people with multiple rings like Kevin Lowe, Charlie Huddy, and Glenn Anderson.

I agree with LITY and Awesome Bill. Once Anderson was taken out of the Oilers with the trade to Toronto, he was nothing. I would be very disappointed if Anderson made the Hall of Fame, if that were the case I think all the Islander greats like Bob Bourne, and Wayne Merrick, and Bob Nystrom should go because they were hard nosed players who were vital cogs in the 4 Stanley Cups.
I've never been a proponent of Stanley Cup rings getting you into the Hall of Fame, too many people are along for the ride. If you look at Anderson's stats with the Oilers and his stats with other teams, Anderson was along for the ride.

I agree with LITY in that Anderson, while a good player, was able to capitalize on the talents of his teammates.

Lives in NY, works in finance and still plays hockey at Chelsea Piers.

No idea but I agree with you about the HHOF. 6 cup rings should qualify.
