Center Jeremy Roenick, in his sixth year of eligibility, scored 1,216 points (513 goals, 703 assists) in 1,363 NHL games, but he never won the Stanley Cup or an individual trophy.
Forward Alexander Mogilny, in his ninth year of eligibility, had 1,032 points (473 goals, 559 assists) in 990 NHL games. He won the Stanley Cup in 2000 with the New Jersey Devils, making him a member of the International Ice Hockey Federation's Triple Gold Club. Mogilny also won gold medals with the Soviet Union at the 1988 Calgary Olympics and the 1989 World Championship.
If Mogilny is a candidate, then forward Theo Fleury should be too.
Fleury, also in his ninth year of eligibility, finished his NHL career with 1,088 points (455 goals, 633 assists) in 1,084 games. Fleury won the Stanley Cup with the Calgary Flames in 1989 and gold medals with Canada at the 1988 World Juniors, 1991 Canada Cup and 2002 Olympics.
Forward Dave Andreychuk, in his ninth year of eligibility as well, finished his NHL career with 640 goals and won the Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004. He is the only retired 600-goal scorer who hasn't already been inducted into the Hall of Fame, and his 274 power-play goals are the most in League history.
Maybe this is the year the selection committee puts in Kevin Lowe, a stay-at-home defenseman on the dynastic Edmonton Oilers teams through the 1980s. The six-time Stanley Cup winner had 431 points (84 goals, 347 assists) in 1,254 NHL games.
The top candidates among former goalies are Chris Osgood (fourth year eligible) and Curtis Joseph (fifth year eligible).
Osgood compares favorably to 2016 inductee Rogie Vachon. Osgood had 401 wins and won the Stanley Cup three times, including twice as the starter. Vachon won 355 games and the Cup twice, once as a starter. Osgood had 50 shutouts; Vachon had 51.
Joseph is fourth all-time in NHL wins (454) and sixth in games played (943). He had 51 shutouts and seven 30-plus win seasons, including twice topping out at 36.
The 2017 induction ceremony will be in Toronto on Monday, Nov. 13.
