Well, he does have a lot of positives going for him. He won a Stanley Cup. He averaged more than a point a game. Had a pair of 100+ point season. But I'm not sure that it would be enough, considering the era in which he played in. Plus, there's also a matter of off-ice incidents and substance abuse problems.
In short, he should be considered. But getting in could be a whole different issue.

He'll have to get in line and he's behind some other players who have much better numbers like Glenn Anderson so the wait may be long.
LITY - while I agree Fleury has a better points per game average, I also see that Anderson has 6 Stanley Cup rings and a far greater playoff point total which would IMO make Anderson a more deserving candidate

Puckdat...............Fleury's numbers are much better than Anderson's. Fleury is one of 4 players who averaged greater than a point per game eligible for the Hall (Nicholls, Oates, Fleury, and Larmer) but not in. Robitaille and Ciccarelli both rank ahead of Anderson as well.
The only think that is keeping Fleury out are his 'issues' and while people say it should be a reflection of what he did on the ice, it no longer is that simple. Alan Eagleson changed that forever.

1,000 games, 1,000 points, eight 30 goal seasons and a cup. All of that from a 5' 6" frame in the 'old' NHL.
I love the guy and I figure if Modano deserves it so does Fleury. The nay-sayers look at him as a point a game guy with a drug habit. I'm afraid there may be too many nay-sayers in this case.

I say definitely. But I also say osgood definitely does. But Fleury should be yes. 1,000 games, 1000 points, countless 30+ goal seasons... why not?

I would have to say no, because his numbers really aren't all that for a player that spent 15 seasons in the league. As far as winning the cup well it was his first year in the league and he didn't do anything after that.

His numbers definitely justify consideration, but it certainly isn't a slam dunk case. I would tend to favour his induction. He didn't dominate the game in any way, but he put up great numbers, won a cup and an Olympic gold medal.

NO!
Yes, he had some good years early on, but if you look at the big story, he didn't do that much. Way overrated, and generally the HOF stays away from head cases.

yes he should cause he scores a lot of goals gets a lot of points he got a short handed hat trick and he is a player to help is team weather you love him or hate him he will always play good.
