Not even close.
Congrats to the Wizard though, terrific career to date.

He's scored more points than 160 members of the HHoF.

I'll assume that's not a serious response...in fact, I know it's not a serious response...

Was left for dead in '97 by the Sharks (I think he's the only remaining player from the Sharks inaugural season), couldn't latch on the following year in Edmonton, only to wash up the following year with Florida. It's pretty amazing what he's done in terms of production on the wrong side of age 30, more than half of his 1000 points during that period.

172, to be more accurate

In both cases, I'd say it's more the longevity of their careers rather than them being that much better than the competition.

I hate Tommy B.
Andy Chiodo and Ron Tugnutt ftw.

As pointed out earlier, he scored more than half of those points after the age of 30.
So longevity of a person's career, while putting up good numbers (as pointed out before, numbers achieved by only 78 others) counts for nothing?

Why not?

I, personally, would say the same reasons I said Whitney shouldn't. He never put up the huge numbers and never really had the hype other guys in the Hall had.
If anything, I would just say Whitney and Arnott are guys who were great role players, but they were never the stars on their teams, or never got the recognition as being "stars" in the league (I know that term is subjective, but when you discuss the Top X players from any year, I don't think either of them come in the Top 20 or 30)
At least, that's how I see them.

I don't know man, I've always considered Arnott a high level player. He has had a long successful career and deserve recognition IMO.
