John Tavares: HOF?

The stat they showed tonight — that Tavares just became only the second player ever, after Messier, to score 250+ goals with two teams — was impressive. OTOH, it makes sense that there are so few; not many elite scorers switch teams mid-career. Another thing that weighs against him for the HOF is his team's lack of playoff success. But — OTOH again — I think that shouldn't count for quite as much as it once did, now that we have a 32-team league.

I think he's got a pretty good case but I could also see people saying it's not the Hall of the Very Very Good.

Any thoughts?
 
He's a HOFamer.
~5th in OHL scoring history
~1st in Goals with 215 in 247 games.
~2 Gold Medals, U20 World Juniors
~1 Olympic Gold Medal
~1 World Championship Gold.
If he plays for the next 3 years he probably reaches 600 goals, 1350pts...inside top 30 all time. He's not far off the top50 right now. Pretty impressive career.

And a Stanley Cup when the Leafs win it next year!!!

I would absolutely include Tavares in the HHOF.
 
No end of season awards. No particularly large season totals (career high is 88 points). Below point/game for his career. Hall of Very Good, I’d say, especially considering his contemporaries.

It just seems like his raw totals will be there if he can have another couple of good production years. He's got a good shot at 600G and 1300 points by the time his contract is up.

I agree that he's probably a Hall of Very Good player but the HHOF elects those guys all the time
