please tell me why Dave Andreychuk is not in the HHOF

For those who didn't know all the details of his escape in Stockholm, the Sabres pair who went to meet him said they were switching hotels every 8 hours to dodge the KGB. Truly crazy, nothing like todays free agency. Also there was a plot thwarted at Buffalo's memorial auditorium where 2 KGB loyalists(after the Soviet Union fell) members attended a Sabres game and had planned to kidnap Mogilny.

Dave Andreychuk was the earlier 90's version of Phil Esposito. He put lots of pucks in the net from 5 feet out.

Not enough votes?

I read your headline and said, "Alex Mogilny is not in the Hall of Fame?"

Enough said.

Because the Hall of fame process is a joke. Look at Pat Burns for example.

Both Mogilny and Andreychuk will probably be there. Garbage goals and all Andreychuk knew where to to go to score goals, and unlike many other (Roberts, Graves) didn't destroy his body by going to the net. There is quite the backlog of players from the European invasion era that will have to wait a few years to get in.

Yes

Because anything associated with the Sabre's is associated with the word "Loser" or "Losing".

Win a Cup and things will change.

because he played for 50 years and was literally never the best player on any team he ever played on. and its not like jari kurri playing most of his career with gretzky- andreychuk played with perreault, turgeon, gilmour, lecavalier, elias...

and christian ruuttu

mogilny had one monster season, one fifty goal season, and one 40 goal season. probably would have a better case if he got to 500.

Even though I am a diehard Islander fan the 89 in my name and # on the ice is cause I was huge Mogilny fan as a kid when he was on the sabres.

he is 28th in the nhl all time for points and all time pp goal leader

that alone should be enough to get him in

when you get more pp goals then #99, that's saying a lot

bob gainey is in the hall for fame for 239 goals and 501 points
andreychuck has 640 goals (14th most)

If he makes it, it's in a Canucks jersey

Took one hell of a risk of a lifetime to escape Russia and play hockey and play pretty bloody good as well, has to make the Hall of Fame.

yea thats what i dont get, the HOF, for all sports should be about players that defined or changed the game, if he never scored a goal, he should get in based on what he did to break the barrier. Throw in the fact that he was pretty damn good, he should most definitely be in.

They should be making a case for Paul Henderson. It's a serious travesty!!
