Pretty sure Dave Andreychuck played about 402 seasons.

How many did Shanahan play?

Not a knock, Andreychuck just played freaking forever (or so it seemed). Very Gary Roberts-like.

I hope you're not making an argument that Andreychuck was a better player than Shanahan. Andreychuck needed over 100 more games to net 16 fewer goals. I'm not sure they're even comparable.

I'm having a hard time seeing Mats Sundin in the HOF...I guess he did turn Alexei Ponikarovsky into a 25 goal scorer, but really?

i would be willing to help him pack. The guy was a defensive liability, and his points, even for a defensemen, didn't reflect his overall game, ala 2 years ago when Jeff Shultz led the world in +/-.

trading picks/players for rights to players you have no intention of signing is like found money IMO... and 5M+ per for that guy is a HUGE over payment, we already have one of those anyways... Mike Green

I don't argue, I leave that to the the regulars in the Political threads. I was asking a question, because it seemed to me they both played forever. Just throwing another name out that may compare to the guys that got in.

Andreychuck should probably get in someday, but the one spot where I think he fails is that he was never really one of the best players on the ice in any given season. I think that one can say that for Sundin, 100 percent for Bure when he was healthy, and definitely Sakic.

Shanahan had 12 different seasons with 30+ goals and 19 (!!!!) seasons with 20+ goals. Pretty incredible longevity.
