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 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.
