Fedorov, for all of his accolades, seems to be to underrated. He's basically a better version of Datsyuk. He was everything you could want in a player (minus the $$ issue). Like Mark Howe, he was an all-class player who could play forward or defense. Like Mark Howe, he deserves to be in the HHOF.

You gotta think that he helped Datsyuk tremendously too as a young player coming into the league and barely able to speak english. Russians generally aren't known for their defensive abilities and yet the Wings got the top 2 all-time

I wouldn't think there would even be a debate. Of course Fedorov is a Hall Of Famer.

He's got to be in. Such an unbelievable talent. Great player, long career, lotsa points.

Besides being the best video game player of all-time he was also not too shabby in real life.

In the last year of his career in 2008-09 at 38 years old he had a Score-Adjusted Fenwick of 61.2%. Totally insane. I can't imagine what his Red Wings numbers were during his prime (they didn't keep that kind of data then).

Federov was the best pl;ayer in the world at one point. To me it is a no brainer that he should be in the Hall of Fame.

Yes you should. The guy could do it all, was a true Red Wing IMO.

No. Had he played his whole career here. No doubt, wouldn't even debate it. but the hold outs with contracts from Detroit, signing an RFA contract in Carolina, Leaving Detroit for less money to go to Anaheim. Just all of that to me sacrifices his number being hung forever as a legacy.
