Answer 1

I think he will make the hall

Answer 2

I think Vinny has Hall potential.He has won the Cup.

He always finishes well in points.He plays both sides of the puck.Just think of the time left in his career.I say yes,a Hall of Famer.

Answer 3

if he keeps up the work

Answer 4

Right now.... no. But if he stays at the level he has been at the past three years for, say, ten more years... then yes. He'll be a shoe-in.

Answer 5

He definitely WILL be, he is just getting things started now and has A LOT left to put out there.  He is only at the half way point and could definitely be able to play all 11 years of his contract.

Answer 6

Right now? NO... his PPG are lower than many, many guys that havent got into the HOF, yet (and bever will) Vinny has a lot to do before he can be a HOFer... very achievable things, but nonetheless he must pick up the pace. One Stanley Cup doesnt guarantee a HOF and he wasnt even the C when they won the CUP.

Games710 Goals273 Assists 329 Total602 +/- = -80 (thats .84ppg)

and notice he has a -80 +/-... he has a ways to go! But its definitely doable... he needs to reach 500+ goals (maybe 600+ with the pace some of his peers are on), and turn around his +/- in my eyes.

Answer 7

Yes, especially when he leads Tampa to the Cup this season

Answer 8

Maybe, but I'll never say a player who has yet to turn 30 is a hall of famer.  Ever since Tampa's old owner called him the Michael Jordan of hockey Lecavalier has had to live up to unrealistic hype, and it's just not fair to him.
