Speaking of wrist shots. I'm not nearly as familiar with Gaborik as i would be with Alex Ovechkin who possesses one of the very best i've yet seen.
A player that possessed one of the best wrist shots ever was Lanny MacDonald .

Two players on your HOF list that I dont think stand a prayer in he** of ever getting in are Eric Lindros and Dino Ciccerelli .

Now Dino had a HOF career but that criminal record is what will keep him out , he has a couple indecent exposure charges that will stay on the books forever ..

Eric Lindros cant rely on his mother for this one !!!
In my opinion he just does not belong in the HOF , he did not do enough to warrant being selected , Concussions are not a stat that gets you in the HOF , in the record books for the most times having your bell rung by Scott Stevens maybe , but not in the HOF ...
