I think it's gonna be Belfour. He hasn't played well the last few years and he's got back problems. Roenick would be the next.

Roenick is next...
And by the way... You spelled his name wrong.. it's R-o-e-n-i-c-k, not R-o-b-e-r-t-s.
I'm sure it must be a typo, since the thread is named 'Great Player' ;)

J.R is not a hall of fame player and i think Shanahan because that big collision with Knuble he has a concussion and he is old it will take a while to heal.

GO Sabres GO!!!!!

I agree, JR will not be a hall of famer, but I still stand by that brind'amour will retire next because of his cup.

I hear what you're saying babs but statistically he could very well make it. He's practically a point a game with 1162 points in 1239 games. He's also had 9 All-Star appearances. His biggest problem will be getting the votes because he's pissed off a lot of important people throughout his career. Remember, he's only 36 years old so he could have a couple good rebound years to make an even better case.

As for retirement I think Belfour will say good night very soon.

So what, we induct everyone who finishes with a points-per-game near one? Give me a break. He was good but I don't think he should be remembered as one of the best players ever.
