Here are the arguments for and against our last Hall of Fame Case: Dave Andreychuk:

Cristeria: Forwards
There seems a holy trinity of accomplishments that virtually guarantees induction at this position -- 1,000 games, 500 goals and 1,000 points. Such longevity and productivity at forward seems to favor inclusion, despite collective achievement with a team. Unquestionably, and more than ever, this is an offensive-driven category, reserved for the Glam Gang. The first 32 men on the Top 100 All-Time Scoring List who have retired are all in the Hall (Bernie Nicholls, at 1,209, is the highest-scoring retiree not yet inducted).

Then there is the leadership and competitive spirit comoponent. Occasionally, a defensive-oriented forward -- Bob Gainey of the Canadiens, as an example -- finds enough support to make the cut, but only when complimented by a lengthy career and team success that can more generally underline value. Those five Stanley Cups defined Gainey. If he'd been saddled playing for, say, the Colorado Rockies, the odds are his defensive genius would've gone completely unnoticed. A potential Hall candidate that falls under this category would be former Habs' and Stars' center Guy Carbonneau. Carbonneau, a superb checking centerman and penalty killer, won three Stanley Cups in 19 seasons.

Dave Andreychuk Status: Active, at 39 in his 21st NHL season. Now with Tampa Bay, other stops include Buffalo, Toronto, New Jersey, Boston and Colorado.
Pros Could move beyond two Hall of Famers, Jean Ratelle and Alex Delvecchio, on the all-time scoring list. Closing in on 600 goals and Phil Esposito's record for power-play goals. Eight seasons of 30 or more goals. Has 200 more goals and over 120 more points than Bernie Federko, inducted in the class of 2002, so obviously an argument can be made for Andreychuk in precedent.	Cons A blue-collar grinder. Does his best work in tight, from the lip of the crease in. Never a part of a great team, has toiled in relative obscurity considering his productivity. No Stanley Cups, no individual awards, no first or second all-star team selections.
The Skinny With the number of quality forwards nearing the end of their careers and only four playing spots available each year, it's difficult to see Andreychuk, despite cracking the Top 40 in career points, finding the necessary support.
